Recipe- Prepare This Spicy Nacho Cheese Sauce In Less Time

Spicy Nacho Cheese Sauce is seriously everything! Scoop it up with nachos and chips, pour it over veggies (yes!!), eat it with pretzels and toasted bread there’s no stopping you with this one. Just ten minutes to a silky smooth, cheesy, spicy sauce.

If you start searching for cheese sauces on your online grocery store, you’ll get a dozen brands selling them. But guys, this tastes 200% better than store bought. Making this nacho sauce is incredibly easy and there’s only one rule to follow. Use good quality cheese and use a cheese block instead of pre-shredded cheese. Pre-shredded cheese is usually tossed in cornflour or another kind of agent that keeps it from clumping, which actually makes it a bad choice for homemade cheese sauce. Pre-shredded cheese will make your sauce taste powdery and won’t give you the same silky smooth texture.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon Oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 cup + 1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon english mustard
Approx 1.5 cups medium cheddar, shredded

Method

* Add oil, butter and garlic to a saucepan and heat gently. Add the flour and cook it while stirring for a minute.

* Whisk one cup milk in slowly so that there are no lumps. Keep whisking while bringing this to a simmer.

* Once it starts simmering, reduce the flame and cook for another minute, and then take this off the flame.

* Stir in salt (if using), paprika, mustard and finally the cheese. Whisk till the cheese has completely melted.

* Add half a cup of warm milk while whisking – this helps melt the cheese more effectively and getting the sauce to the right consistency.

* If the cheese still doesn’t melt completely, add a splash of milk and put the pan back on the heat for a few seconds.

* Keep stirring till the cheese melts and then take the pan immediately off the heat. Serve immediately.
