THINGS YOUāLL NEED:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk – use whole milk for a richer flavor

What extra toppings do you like to put on your nachos?
American cheese the ingredient that helps to get melty cheese is sodium citrate. So if u swap out for another cheese and added a pinch of the sodium citrate u could get similar melty cheese. Modernist cuisine book goes into other culinary techniques
I do the jalapeno juice on a lot of things. So much flavor and the acid from the vinegar adds to it as well.
Eso se ve exquisito š¤¤
Definitely gonna do this! Also, i used to work the concessions stand at a theater. I remember the first day of Star Wars Phantom Menace and the line went around the block. It was almost anarchy. Lol
Wow this stuff is fantastic and easy. Taste so much like Taco Bell.
Iām upset. I tried to cook this 3 times and it doesnāt taste right. Looks watery but textured. I mixed the roux properly. Iām disappointed š
Sup mike, I've made since saw on site, the jalapeno bribe makes a difference, we use Velveeta, everyone loves it, now it's double batches, even another batch with the pickled jalapenos, even added Rotel, it's also great on tacos, tostada's, burrito, basically anything, keep rest in a jar, even heat in mic for meatloaf.. used to use cheddar, but Velveeta nailed it, adding the bribe is genius, even spread cooled on bread for fast grilled cheese lol. Tyvmš¶ļø
Add some cooked macaroni for mac and cheese.
Good Lord. This is the kind of stuff that gives Americanized Mexican food a horrible reputation.
American processed cheese-food? Really?
Do not subject your family and friends to this, people, please.
I halved your recipe for dinner (2 adults & 2 kids) I used a 4oz velveeta pouch instead of the block & it came out very good ā¤ I used the brine of banana peppers and it made the sauce. It needed that kick. Thank you!
Chef, I made it today and it came out great. Just 1 question, Once it cools down the sauce become too thick. How can we keep it's liquidity?
Hey Im going to try your cheese sauce on my steak and chicken fajitas nachos tonight canāt wait to try it looks delicious & cheesy!!!
A door dash restaurant near me pits nacho cheese on their fries.
I REALLY don't want to spend the cash just for those delicious fries.
I got cheese, milk, jalapenos and frozen fries…just needed the recipe.
Thanks
Hi, can we replace the flour to cornstarch ?
I can't mask the taste of the flour. I've followed the exact receipt but in the end my sauce takes more like flour paste than cheese dip. And suggestions? Thanks
Gonna use Cheddar and Gouda tonight since we dont have American cheese here. Thx for the receipeā¤
The real secret is the Kraft processed cheese in the foil label with blue printing thatās not velveeta but people mistake for it,
I tried to add too much ingredients one time when i was first starting out age 8š less is better nowadays and I tried your recipe and as usual homemade always blows canned ready-made outta the water and I can't go back, i just had sharp cheddar and turned out. I usually use processed American so i might try that another time. Great post and CHEERS! HAPPY HOLIDAYS, MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!
This is listed as a 3 1/2 minute video. Youtube added 6 minutes of ads. Ugh
Hey there, just discovered you channel, great content! šš»šš» Any tips to prevent the sauce from firming up, especially when filled in a squeeze bottle? keep it up man!
Wow that looks amazing , but sadly there seems to be no commercial processed cheese available in uk if anyone knows of a source please let me know ?!
I made this yesterday and it was awesome. Thanks for sharing this great recipe
Love this dude. Nice hair. Good voice….Great cook. Keep it up!
Spot on
What kind of flour do you use?
I love corny, cheesy jokes. So of course āItās na-cho cheeseā got me LOL. š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Nacho regular cook š but awesome simple recipe strait to the point and no headache music .lš
"3 tablespoons of jalapeƱo juice"
Dumps half the jar.
So funny. Velveeta in the microwave with milkm
Jalepeni juice didn't hear.
I kinda quadrupled the recipeš but Ooooooh my my my! Iāll never buy from the store again! Indeed need some jalapeƱo ājuiceā for the ānacho flavor kick. All in all, bar none the best simplest recipe and great taste! Also a good base for that āsoul foodā holiday Mac n cheese! Love you for this thanks! I used Colby Jack and sharp cheddarš²! So nice!
This is the best recipe Iāve tried and it came out perfect
I tried it with tomato sauce instead of the milk and vinegar instead of the brine and it tasted like shit.
Just made this for chili cheese dogsā¦ soooooo good š
