Quick and Easy Spicy Nacho Cheese Sauce (Ready in 10 Minutes)

A bowl of silky smooth, cheesy, spicy nacho cheese sauce is super easy to make than you thought. It’s perfect for a dip, nacho cheese, with fries, steamed or roasted broccoli, mac and cheese sauce and so much more.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes
Servings: 2 cups
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter unsalted
2 tablespoons plain flour
1 ½ cups milk whole/ full cream milk
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 ½ tablespoons hot sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
Method
1. Start by melting 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan on medium flame. Sprinkle flour over the top.
2. Keep whisking continuously and cook the flour for about 1 minute. It’s important to cook out the floury flavor and not burn the flour.
3. Slowly add milk (or half and half) to the butter-flour paste in a steady stream.
4. Continue whisking and cook until the mixture thickens. It will take about 5 minutes. Keep cooking on medium flame.
5. Once the mixture begins to thicken add hot sauce, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to taste. Whisk together.
6. Turn off the heat, and add grated cheese. Residue heat will be enough to melt the cheese. Keep whisking constantly until the cheese is fully melted.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning or spice if required.
8. Pour into serving bowls and serve immediately with nachos. Can be used to pour it over steamed or roasted broccoli, stirred with mac and cheese, or used as a dip.
9. Any leftovers can be stored in air-tight containers refrigerated for about 5 days.
