Time 7m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon cornstarch
12 ounces evaporated milk
2 tablespoons jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Toss the cheese and cornstarch together in a saucepan.
Add all other ingredients and cook over medium heat, whisking often until the cheese is melted and smooth.
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 milk or regular milk to achieve the desired consistency if you want to use it as a pourable sauce.
