You all know I’ve been on a quest for a good Nacho Cheese Sauce ever since I was forced to go dairy free. Not exactly sure why I’m obsessing about this as I never ate it regularly before but must have it now. I stumbled across this recipe and it was ok. I have yet to find an exact match, but some have certainly been better than others. This is good in a pinch and certainly passable if you’re looking for a nosh during a football game (GO PATRIOTS!).
