Ingredients

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)

1 teaspoon taco seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1 tablespoon canned diced green chilies (optional)

Salt to taste

Instructions

Heat the Base: In a medium saucepan over low heat, add the cream cheese. Stir continuously until it becomes soft and creamy.

Add the Milk: Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to incorporate it thoroughly into the cream cheese. This will create a smooth base.

Incorporate the Cheeses: Gradually add in the shredded sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, stirring well after each addition until melted and smooth.

Season it Up: Add the taco seasoning, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), onion powder, and diced green chilies. Stir until well combined and heated through.

Taste and Adjust: Season with salt according to your preference, and continue to stir until your nacho cheese sauce is creamy and has reached your desired consistency.

Serve Warm: Remove from heat and serve immediately. This sauce is perfect for drizzling over nachos, tacos, or even as a dipping sauce.
