A silky smooth Nachos cheese dip that doesnt harden or congeal as it cools!!
It is just as good served warm, at room temperature or cold.
It takes just over 5 minutes to make and is great to make ahead as it reheats well.

Use this to make aRipper Beef Nachos!
This Nachos Cheese Dip was an invention out of necessity.
Because I love cheesy dips, and I wanted one that did not harden or congeal as it cooled.
I am yet to meet a cheese I dont love.
Plus I have a weakness for all things snacky.
If theres something to nibble on within reach, its like my arm is on auto pilot.
Therefore, this Nachos Cheese Dip is pretty much all my weaknesses bundled into one bowl.
Place this with a pile of corn chips in front of me and I stand no chance.
I know there are loads of cheese dip recipes out there.
And when the dip was reheated, the dip would split (the oil would separate).
Mind you, this was about 5 or so years ago.
So maybe the internet is flooded with non-congealing warm cheese dips now!
The secret ingredient in this is evaporated milk.
Thats how this stays creamy warm or cold.
This dip is made with evaporated milk which makes all the difference.

Bit of corn starch / corn flour to thicken it, plenty of cheese (it is aCheesedip!)
and some additional flavourings to make it a nachos cheese dip.
It is ridiculously easy (5 ingredients, < 10 minutes);2.

Perfectly smooth;3.
Easily adjustable to your own taste.
Increase, decrease or remove the spice factor, add your own flavourings;4.
Doesnt use processed plastic cheese;5.
Can be made ahead.
Reheats without splitting; and7.
Is a 2 in 1 recipe a dip and a sauce.
When warm, it is quite loose, like a thick sauce.
It is pourable over nachos, chips or whatever else takes your fancy.
(UPDATE:I just got a great tip from a reader to use this over tots!
Never thought of that thats a step up from fries!!)
When it is cool, it thickens up to a thick dip consistency.
And when it is refrigerated, it is a spreadable consistency, like peanut butter.
It can also be thinned out simply by adding a bit of milk (ordinary or evaporated).
Now just excuse me, I need to go and blow my my calorie budget for the entire week.
