Do you want to make your own nacho cheese (queso dip) that melts as smooth as the store-bought stuff, but uses real cheese? Of course you do! All you need is your favorite cheese, a few teaspoons of vinegar, and Alka Seltzer. Yes, Alka Seltzer. This cheese sauce tastes of pure cheese, and it's bomb proof. Make a big batch and refrigerate it. Nuke it in the microwave over and over. It just melts back into smooth, molten cheese. Enjoy!
Recipe:
(1) Combine 3 Alka Seltzer tablets (aspirin-free, flavor-free) with 6 teaspoons (60g) of distilled vinegar. Let this react until fizzing stops.
(2) Grate 6 oz / 170 g of medium-hard cheese, like cheddar.
(3) Pour Alka Seltzer mix into pot and stir in cheese over medium heat until soft and melted.
(4) Adjust to desired consistency with water, about 3 oz / 85 g.
(5) Stir in your favorite chili peppers and enjoy!
