It's about $6.50 for a jar of this. The brand I have in mind is Tostitos Nacho cheese.

2 TBSP butter
2 TBSP Flour

Melt the butter and whisk in the four like making gravy.

Add a cup of whole milk and do the same until it thickens.

The add 8oz of Velveeta, 1/8 tsp of cayenne pepper and 1 to 2 TBS of mashed pickled jalapeno pepper.

Better and way cheaper. Takes about 15 minutes.

1. Great recipe, I will try it someday

2. Worth trying. $6.50 a jar for Nacho Cheese?

Must be for special occasions 😂

3. Ah, Velveeta!

I remember the old Kraft Music Hall TV show and their ads for the smooth, gooey goodness of Velveeta. It is sooooooo good on Philly cheese steak sandwiches.

4. I'd use an actual cheese

instead of Velveeta - I can usually find large blocks of cheddar or Monterey Jack in local groceries - and up the amount of pepper, but otherwise it sounds good. I've thinking about what to do for dinner tonight

Decades ago I found a recipe (can't remember where) for chile con queso, that started with sauteeing diced chiles, onions, and tomatoes, and adding cream cheese, diluting with milk until you got the consistency you want. I still occasionally make it with and serve it with tortillas or tortilla chips for brunch. I prefer my nachos the original way Nacho made them - individual tortilla chips with a piece of jalapeno and a piece of cheese on them, under the broiler just long enough for the cheese to start to melt. Although I made these for a party once and no one touched them. Nothing against chips piled on a plate and stuff glopped over them, but IMHO that's something else.

8. Same here...

Velveeta is against my religion, never use it unless I'm in a commercial kitchen without having any authority.

5. Thanks! You got me craving a grilled cheese sandwich!

[2naSalit]

9. Now I'm thinking...

That I should make one too. I have too much cheese in the fridge and need to start using it. It's chilly and snowy today, great thing for lunch with some soup!

6. I've made something similar before for parties.

Sometimes I stir in a can of Rotel diced tomatoes with jalapeños.

7. If it's nacho cheese, then it's none of your business.

10. If you're pressed for time

like a bunch of men come trooping in and say so-and-so's TV isn't ;working and it's some big sportsball thing and you need something fast so they won't get grumpy:

110 oz. can original Ro-Tel tomatoes and chiles, drained

16 oz. Velveeta

Cube the Velveeta. Put it into a saucepan with the drained Ro-Tel. Cook over low-medium heat until the Velveeta is melted and completely incorporated with the Ro-Tel. Pour into something suitable, open a bag of chips, and serve.

The person who brought in queso dip reliably used government cheese for it would start with the roux and bechamel sauce, dump in the cheese and Ro-Tel, then transfer it to a crock pot. Government cheese makes great queso dip. This quickie recipe isn't bad, though, and is incredibly no fuss It's also very fast.

11. el pato and velveeta is our go-to

and I do it in the microwave, so it is easy to reheat when it congeals. but velveeta isn't cheap anymore.
