Not happy with any at-home recipes for nacho sauce, I made up my own! A thick, creamy nacho cheese sauce that you will swear came out of a jar. Cheesy, subtly spicy, and bursting with nacho flavor--it rivals any store-bought nacho cheese sauce. Just be sure to save some aside for yourself! Serve warm immediately over or with tortilla chips, on tacos or burritos, or as any other dip.
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! Read More

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.:) Read More
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! Read More
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! Read More
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! Read More
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! Read More
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. Read More
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. Read More
