Not'yo Ordinary Nacho Cheese Sauce

The spices in this recipe were phenomenal!! I know I hate reviews where they don't make the recipe per directions/ingredients, however I had forgotten to add the cream cheese and sour cream since I was going by memory..ugh. I really wanted to follow the ingredients. BUT, it still tasted extraordinary without those two ingredients because the spices were so good! I did add a lot of milk which made it thinner so it's easier to pour over the chips (maybe the cream cheese and sour cream would've done just the same, but tasted more creamier?) . I loved the review of someone saying they added salsa to theirs instead of Rotel tomatoes because I, too, don't have Rotel handy, but I did have salsa! The salsa was really good in it. I just added a few tablespoons. Very great recipe and next time I will do it the way it's written and I'm sure it will still taste 5-star worthy! :) Thanks for this recipe!

We LOVED this dip! I do not keep Rotel(R) on hand, as we really don't care that much for it, so I used salsa instead, which worked perfectly. This is a definite keeper~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)

Just made this tonight to go with our burgers and it was excellent! Made a couple revisions to the ingredients to suit what I had on-hand but still fantastic!

This was a big hit with me and the kiddos! I used diced green chiles instead of the Rotel (what I had on hand) and left out the black pepper (because black pepper doesn't belong in everything). It was super quick and easy to make and really satisfied my nacho craving!

Turned out so good. Very easy to make. I made 1/2 the recipe and there's still a lot left!! The only substitute I made were to things I had on hand-I subbed Neufchâtel for cream cheese, plain yogurt for sour cream and the habanero Rotel. So yummy, I will def make again!

I was looking for something different from my standard melted "cheese product" plus Rotel to make for nachos supreme. This is SO lick-the-spoon good! Only change I made was I used butter instead of veg. oil. It makes a lot - which is great for a party, but next time I make it for the family, I will half the recipe. I will never go back to "cheese product" nacho cheese!

I made half the amount and didn’t have chili powder, but added in some cayenne instead. Next time, I might use less cheddar and see if that makes it a little hotter.

It was grainy and we didn't like it. Will not make it again

My apologies for changing the recipe and then rating it. I had some half and half that needed to be used so I used that instead of milk. I have never made a roux with oil and quite frankly, I think it's blasphemy so I made my roux with butter. Also, it should be noted that cooking the butter/flour mixture for a minute of two, while stirring constantly, "cures" it of that raw flour taste. I used the recommended spices in the recommended amounts but I think that the cumin was a little bit overwhelming. Next time I'll halve the amount and then add more if I think it needs it. I also added a shake or two of cayenne powder because I know I like it on the spicy side. This is a recipe that I'll use again. I rate it highly as I sit here and eat a plate of nachos.

This is a great recipe. If you’re looking for something that tastes like the mealty processed cheese block, this isn’t it. If you use medium low heat and take your time with the steps, your patience will be rewarded. I’ve made this several times, and I always use more milk, so maybe I just like a thinner sauce. The best batch I made I used three cheddar cheese shreds (white cheddar, yellow cheddar, and sharp cheddar mixed in one bag) , one can of hot Rotel and one can of mild Rotel because the grocery was out of Original Rotel. The spices are spot on. This makes a lot of sauce, so be prepared to share! It refrigerated and reheats well. I’m glad I found this recipe.

We really enjoyed this cheese sauce. I did not add the cumin and it tasted good!

This was delicious on barbecue nachos!

I tried two different nacho cheese recipes and this one had a lot of flavor. I added onions and jalapenos, but this recipe was easy to make.

It was ok, but there is just no replacing that fake cheese we all love.
