Nacho Cheese Dip image

Works best in the UK, sorry about that. Got it from a friend in response to a pitiful plea for decent nacho cheese...kind of like the kind you get in the 7-11...

Categories     Sauces

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups of cold milk
175 g red leicester cheese
100 g soft cheese (philly, etc...)
1/2 tablespoon of chopped red chile (or the paste)

Steps:

  • Make a simple bechamel sauce with the flour, butter, milk.
  • melt butter on medium heat, stirring in flour and cooking until golden.
  • add cold milk, turn up the heat to med/high, and stir constantly to avoid scalding, stir until thickened.
  • turn heat back to med and add GRATED red leicester cheese (has to be red leicester, won't taste right or be the right color other wise).
  • stir in red leicester, add 100g of soft cheese, stir through until melted and smooth.
  • add 1/2 tbs of chopped (really fine) chili's or red chili paste and stir in until smooth.
  • take off heat and serve.
  • also nice cold, has been used as the sauce for mac and cheese quite successfully, baked potato topping with bacon (kind of tastes like wendy's) and also -- if you want you can stir in some jalapeño peppers. (Make sure you drain them if canned.).
