Description

Make Taco John’s nacho cheese sauce at home with this easy copycat recipe. Perfect for potato olé bravo, nachos, and air fryer potatoes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup Velveeta cheese slices
  • ½ cup Shredded cheddar or Colby Jack cheese
  • ½ cup Evaporated milk
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons canned jalapenos
  • Dash of Garlic salt or to taste 


Instructions

  1. Add evaporated milk to a saucepan over low heat.

  2. Slowly add Velveeta slices, stirring constantly until melted.

  3. Add shredded cheese a handful at a time, stirring until fully melted before adding more.

  4. Keep the heat low and stir gently until smooth.


Notes

One of my favorite ways to use this nacho cheese sauce is to make potato olé bravo at home. It is classic comfort food and surprisingly easy to recreate.
