NACHOS CHEESE DIP & SAUCE



Nachos Cheese Dip & Sauce image

This dip is great not only because it's a two-in-one recipe, but because unlike most other cheese dips and sauces, it does not separate and congeal as it cools and it is just as good (if not better) served cool or at room temperature as it is warm. It's also a super simple recipe which takes minutes to prepare and only 5 or so minutes to cook.

Time 7m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups / 225g / 8oz shredded cheese (Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Colby, etc), shred your own (Important - read Note 1)
1 tbsp cornstarch ((corn flour))
1 can evaporated milk ((375g / 12oz))
2 tbsp finely chopped jalapeño peppers ((fresh or canned))
1 tbsp hot sauce ((or adjust to your taste))
1/2 tsp onion powder ((optional - adds extra flavour))
1/2 tsp garlic powder ((optional - adds extra flavour))
1 tsp salt

Steps:

  • Toss the cheese and cornstarch together in a saucepan.
  • Add all other ingredients, cook over medium heat, whisking often until the cheese is melted and smooth.
  • Adjust to your taste if required - with extra hot sauce and salt.
  • While hot, it will have a sauce like consistency - perfect for pouring over nachos.
  • As it cools, it will thicken and become a dip-like consistency. Whisk occasionally to mix in the skin that forms on the top.
  • Stir in additional evaporated (or even normal) milk to achieve the desired consistency if you want to use it as a pourable sauce. Note that when you reheat it, it loosens up.

THE BEST NACHO DIP EVER



The Best Nacho Dip Ever image

I found this recipe on the web and modified it to include fat-free or low fat ingredients, when possible. It is absolutely the best nacho dip ever. I think it's the cocktail sauce that makes all the difference. Try to allow at least 2 hours "cure" time in the fridge. An overnight stay is even better!
