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's mild canned nacho cheese sauce is a cheap, convenient option, but the strongest theme is that it tastes like very basic cheese sauce and falls short of Taco Bell-style nacho cheese. The jarred Pace version gets a better nod as closer to Tostito's, while the canned version is described as not worth the effort and even less appealing than making queso at home or buying store-brand cheese. The deal price can drop to about 87 cents with coupon and Subscribe and Save, but the coupon only applies to one can. It is mainly a low-cost backup if you want canned cheese sauce and do not expect much from it.
The coupon plus Subscribe & Save can bring the final cost down to about $0.87 after 5% back.
The sauce can freeze well, which helps when portioning it into multiple 16 oz containers.
Jarred Pace nacho cheese sauce can taste decent and may be closer to Tostito's than the canned version.
The sauce can be gross or horrible and may not taste like Taco Bell's nacho cheese.
The canned nacho cheese sauce can taste very cheap and may feel not worth using again.
The canned nacho cheese sauce is described as terrible or bottom-of-the-barrel compared with other brands.
The Amazon coupon can apply only to a single can, which reduces the deal's overall appeal.
