NOT'YO ORDINARY NACHO CHEESE SAUCE

Not'yo Ordinary Nacho Cheese Sauce image

Not happy with any at-home recipes for nacho sauce, I made up my own! A thick, creamy nacho cheese sauce that you will swear came out of a jar. Cheesy, subtly spicy, and bursting with nacho flavor--it rivals any store-bought nacho cheese sauce. Just be sure to save some aside for yourself! Serve warm immediately over or with tortilla chips, on tacos or burritos, or as any other dip.

This cheese sauce is delicious! I used it to make nachos and they were the best nachos I've ever had. The sauce is creamy and cheesy, and it has the perfect amount of spice.

This nacho cheese sauce is amazing! It's so easy to make and it tastes just like the cheese sauce from my favorite Mexican restaurant. I will definitely be making this again and again.
