Slow Cooker Nacho Cheese Sauce

Slow Cooker Nacho Cheese Sauce made with just four ingredients and none of them are processed cheese! Almost every recipe I found online contained american cheese, velveeta or cream cheese.

This recipe uses sharp cheddar for it’s base.

You can even make this into queso! Add in a pound of browned beef seasoned with taco seasoning.

If you’d prefer to make this nacho cheese sauce on your stovetop you can add in the ingredients over low heat and whisk until it is fully melted, combined and thickened a little bit.

The best part of this recipe, aside from molten cheesy delicious flavors is that you can make this for parties. To serve you can put dipping items in bowls around the slow cooker.

To keep warm you can just use the “keep warm” setting on your slow cooker. If the cover is not left on the cheese will form a little layer on the top that dries out, but a quick stir is all you need to get the cheese looking good again.

Fun mix ins for nacho cheese sauce:
  • seasoned taco meat
  • bacon and chives
  • jalapeno and bacon
  • rotel chilis and tomatoes (drained)
  • use sharp white cheddar instead and add in spinach and artichoke
