Creamy Nacho Cheese Sauce
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Start by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in a pot over medium heat.
- 2Once it's mostly melted, add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and mix to form a paste.
- 3After you've cooked out some of the flour, pour in 1 cup of whole milk and whisk well until the flour and butter are fully incorporated into the milk with no lumps.
- 4Now season with a little salt and cayenne pepper for a bit of a kick and whisk to combine.
- 5To help the mixture thicken, turn the heat up a little and bring the mixture to a boil.
- 6You should notice that it thickens quite quickly when you whisk it again.
- 7Finally, add an entire 8-ounce block of grated sharp cheddar cheese.
- 8Whisk until the cheese has melted and the sauce is beautifully smooth.
- 9The sauce is now ready, and you can serve it with a little green onion for garnish and dip in your favorite tortilla chips.
