5 Minute Nacho Cheese Sauce

Homemade nacho cheese sauce is fast, easy, and made with simple ingredients! FULL RECIPE BELOW.

Full Recipe 👇👇👇

INGREDIENTS
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
1 cup whole milk
6 oz. medium cheddar, shredded (about 1.5 cups)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp chili powder

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Add the butter and flour to a small sauce pot. Heat and whisk the butter and flour together until they become bubbly and foamy. Continue to cook and whisk the bubbly mixture for about 60 seconds.
2. Whisk the milk into the flour and butter mixture. Turn the heat up slightly and allow the milk to come to a simmer while whisking. When it reaches a simmer, the mixture will thicken. Once it's thick enough to coat a spoon, turn off the heat.
3. Stir in the shredded cheddar, one handful at a time, until melted into the sauce. If needed, place the pot over a low flame to help the cheese melt. Do not over heat the cheese sauce.
4. Once all the cheese is melted into the sauce, stir in the salt and chili powder. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the sauce becomes too thick, simply whisk in an additional splash of milk.

Short and on point plus the recipe is in the description. Perfect. I can't watch another food tutorial that contains the creator's life story and a 2 minute ad.

Seriously, some of my favorite, go-to recipes came from you. I love how real all your food is! It’s mostly healthy, but you seem to understand that we’re all just people and sometimes we want some dang nacho cheese!

I love this recipe! Very simple and delicious. I added salsa to mine to make it more like Tostito queso and it was divine. This is now my go to nacho recipe.

Following this recipe, I inadvertently created a very delicious bechamel sauce and I didn't even add the cheese. Takes me back to the mid 90s when I ate Woolworth's family size lasagne with it's amazing bechamel sauce.

I think adding fresh jalapeños would take this to the next level

I just made this and put it in a small crock pot to keep it warm. I used store bought shredded cheese and it came out really good but i had to add little more milk to keep it runny and not kinda thick also my butter and flour didnt look like yours it was clumps but when i added milk i whisked it and turned up to high then to med high to get it to be the right consistency...best recipe so far all my others was a fail.

Thank you, this was straight to the point.

I’d use some vinegar from a jar of sliced jalapeños instead of the chili powder. Sweet recipe tho. I’m following this tonight.
