How to Make Homemade Nacho Cheese Sauce
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the Velveeta cheese, milk, butter, diced green chilies, and chili powder.
- Microwave on 30% power (or defrost setting) for 2 minutes. Stir well to combine and ensure the cheese is starting to melt.
- Continue microwaving in 2-minute intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the cheese sauce is completely melted, smooth, and creamy. This should take approximately 8-10 minutes total. Adjust the microwave power and time as needed, depending on your microwave.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more chili powder for extra spice or salt to taste.
- Serve immediately with your favorite nacho chips, vegetables, or as a topping for your favorite dishes. Enjoy!
