Select a high quality cheese you like, for example sharp cheddar. Add some sodium citrate (chemical formulæ NACHO, not kidding), some liquid to get the right consistency, and you have the best nacho cheese sauce.
Ingredients:
8 oz (225g) high-quality cheese (sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or a mix), freshly grated
1/2 cup (120ml) liquid (water, milk, or beer)
1 tsp (4g) sodium citrate
Optional add-ins: Tomato puree, lemon juice, Chopped pickled jalapeños, a dash of hot sauce, or a pinch of cumin/chili powder.
1.Dissolve the Salt:
Whisk the sodium citrate into your cold liquid in a medium saucepan until it is completely dissolved.
2.Bring to a Simmer:
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.
3.Whisk in the Cheese:Add slowly to prevent clumping.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the grated cheese a small handful at a time, whisking continuously. Do not add the next handful until the previous one is completely melted and emulsified into the sauce.
4.Customize and Serve:
Once all the cheese is incorporated and the sauce is perfectly smooth, stir in any jalapeños, hot sauce, or spices. Serve immediately, or keep warm over very low heat.
Key insight: Always grate your cheese from a block. Pre-shredded bagged cheeses are coated with anti-caking agents (like cellulose) that will make your final sauce grainy, even with the melting salt.
Community Reviews
Pace mild canned nacho cheese sauce comes across as a very cheap, Taco Bell style cheese sauce, but the strongest reaction is that it falls short of that benchmark. The jarred Pace version gets a better nod, and the sauce can be frozen into smaller containers if bought in bulk. A few price checks landed under a dollar with coupon and Subscribe and Save. The main drawback is the taste, which is described as bland, gross, or not worth the effort, with homemade or store brand cheese often preferred instead.
Common Questions (3)
No, it is repeatedly described as not tasting like Taco Bell's nacho cheese. The canned sauce is also called very cheap-tasting and not worth eating by several shoppers.
Yes. The larger Great Value can is commonly portioned into 16 oz containers and frozen, and it reportedly freezes very well. That makes the bigger can more practical if you want to stretch it over multiple uses.
One shopper reported a final price of $0.87 after the coupon, Subscribe & Save, and 5% back. That makes the deal much cheaper than buying a larger can at regular price.

I do like the white queso dip they sell at Costco sometimes
