I have to admit that my family loves the gross jar of nacho cheese goo that you can buy in the chip aisle. It’s gross. I know it, but we still eat it. I love making this cheese sauce for nachos instead because it uses real food. No cheese product in this sauce. No sirree. And it tastes better than the jar of orange goo. On top of that, this sauce is also so easy to make. Some cheese grating and whisking and 15 minutes later you have yourself a smooth and creamy cheese sauce.
Because this recipe uses real cheese as opposed to cheese product it does start to get firm when it cools. Make sure you use it immediately or keep it warm until you use it. I have thrown this in a slow cooker and put it on the warm setting with great results. You’ll just have to give the cheese a good stir before serving.

Was the crockpot for reheating or for making the recipe from the beginning? Thx
