Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup milk (use whole milk for richer flavor)
  • 8 ounces melty cheese
  • 2-3 tablespoons pickled jalapeno juice
  • Pinch of salt (optional, if desired)

Instruction

  • Heat a sauce pan or small pot to medium heat. Add the butter and melt it.
  • Stir in the flour and stir continuously for 2-3 minutes to form a roux.
  • Stir in the milk and allow to simmer. It will bubble just a bit around the edges.
  • Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the cheese a bit at a time. Continue stirring until it all melts through.
  • Stir in the pickled jalapeno juice (and some of the pickled jalapenos, too, if you want!). Keep stirring until the nacho cheese sauce is nice and smooth.
  • Taste and adjust for salt, then serve with tortilla chips!
