Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine shredded cheese and cornstarch and toss to coat.
- To a medium saucepan, add evaporated milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until milk just begins to simmer.
- Remove the milk from heat and stir in the cheese, a large handful at a time, until all the cheese has been incorporated and it has completely melted into the sauce.
- Add hot sauce, salt, and cayenne, and then taste and add more if needed. Serve over nachos, fries, or steamed vegetables and enjoy!
Notes
- * For best results, do not use pre-shredded cheese as it contains anti-caking additives that may prevent the cheese from melting smoothly.
- To keep warm, transfer mixture to a crockpot on the warm setting. Whisk occasionally.
