Homemade Nacho Cheese Sauce
Yield: Serves 4-6
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1 cup whole milk
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
8oz block sharp cheddar cheese*, grated
Directions:
Melt the butter in a medium size skillet over medium flame. Once the butter is melted add the flour. Whisk until it combines into a smooth blond paste and starts to bubble around the edges.
Add the milk to the skillet and continue whisking. Once the milk is incorporated, raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Once the milk has reached a boil, quickly lower the heat and reduce to a simmer. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
Add the cayenne pepper and salt and whisk to combine.
Add the cheese and gently stir, allowing the cheese to melt. When the cheese is completely melted and the mixture smooth in consistency, the nacho cheese sauce is ready to serve. Enjoy immediately, as the sauce will get firm as it sits.
*Be sure to buy a good quality block of sharp cheddar cheese, then grate it yourself. Those bags of pre-shredded cheese often have additives in them and you won’t get a creamy result. My favorite brand cheddar is Cracker Barrel.
To reheat: ONLY reheat on the stovetop in a pan (no microwave here). Heat the cheese in a skillet over medium low heat until melted and warm. Add 2 tbsp of water and whisk until the cheese looks smooth and creamy again (adding moisture should restore that creamy smooth texture).

I tried this recipe exactly how you said to do it and both times it was too chunky. It was not the smooth and creamy sauce as seen in the video. I exacted the flour and all the other ingredients. Pretty disappointed

Microwave works great, add all ingredients (besides cheese) up until its bubbling good then add cheese. When it’s bubbling its ready.
I tried this last year but the cheese got hard extremely quick after it started to cool. The only cheddar they had at the supermarket was white cheddar so not sure if that was the reason why or not. Any idea how to keep the cheese from solidifying so quick? That seems to happen regardless of the cheese I use. Unless I add something to the cheese like chili.
will 2 percent milk work
nice jugs
She’s almost hot
I halved this recipe and it made plenty! Next time, if it’s just for me, I will quarter it. Really great recipe; simple and tasty. A full recipe portion would do really well for dipping at a party.
