Ingredients

  • 2 cups sharp white cheddar cheese shredded (or your favorite cheese)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 can 12 oz evaporated milk
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • teaspoon cayenne pepper optional

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, toss cheese and cornstarch together until cheese is evenly coated.
  • Stir in evaporated milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper and cook over medium heat until cheese is melted, whisking often. Cheese sauce will be done cooking in about 5 minutes.
  • While hot, sauce is more liquid, like nacho cheese. When it cools down, it will be a thicker, dip consistency.
