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 topping, but the comments lean toward preferring other options for better flavor and texture. The jarred Pace queso gets a better nod than this canned version, and Great Value, Tostitos, or even homemade cheese sauce are described as tastier alternatives. The sauce is also said to freeze well in portioned containers. At this price, it is mainly a budget filler if you want a basic nacho cheese fix.
