I have video of myself doing this but my connection is sucking right now and I can't upload it.

Get a sauce pan, put in some milk (like 1/4 cup) and cheese. Low heat, stir. Keep stirring. If it looks like you added too much milk, add more cheese.

Put in some crushed red pepper or a few shots of Tabassco if you want.
 
And they say men can't cook.......

How the hell are you going to survive if you can't even make nachos?

Just grab some tortilla chips, throw some cheese on it (plus whatever else you want) and then put it in the oven. When it melts (before it blackens) its done. If you do it in the microwave I think it only takes about 30 or 40 seconds, though I haven't done it in the microwave in years so I may have forgotten. I'm not sure why you'd want cheese sauce on them, but if that's what you want then a bunch of people have explained that.
 
In a sauce Pan, pour in about a cup of milk and about 1/2 a cup of flour. Whisk well.

Turn the heat on to low, and stir the concoction until it warms up and starts to thicken. Then, grate in a bunch of cheese. You don't want the milk flour mixture to be too thick when the cheese gets in, otherwise, it will be too thick. You just want the flour to promote thickness when warm, but keep the stuff relatively liquidy when cool. So, if the mixture is too thick before the cheese goes in, just add some milk and mix well.

Over low heat, stir the grated cheese milk mixture until everything is melted and it reaches the appropriate thickness. Do not boil, otherwise the mixture will become grainy.

From there, experiment.
 
You don't need to add the flour and cheese sauce with flour is better for a Mac and Cheese type thing, not for nachos.
 
If you fry up your own tortilla chips, the nachos are even better. Gives them a great taste. Not just corn tortillas either. Maybe you see it if you eat at a Mexican restaurant... sometimes they give you a basket of chips with some darker, larger, thicker chips in them. Those are fried flour tortilla chips... awesome stuff. I make them from time to time.

I buy corn tortillas (either yellow or blue) and bake them instead of fry. I usually put cheese and black bean salsa on them. Get the right brand of salsa (can't remember the name of the one I always buy) and they taste much better than any other nachos or nacho like thing I've had.

There should be, but there isn't. But there should be.
 
I'm lazy, I call the mexican place up the street and get some tortilla chips and some queso. They use goat milk though and it is mmm-mmm good.
 
fucking goats milk. I hate to be a downer to everyone that cooks but you can't beat Chilli's Queso

Edit for spelling...I missed the A in goat
 
I don't even bother cooking queso anymore. I just go to sam's club and buy a 4 pack of Tostido's brand and mix it in with Salsa or picante sauce.

HOwever, I do use cheese in the food processor to make cheese spread to eat with bread or crackers (same goes for homemade hummus).
 
bread's done
