    I was just thinking that a nacho cheese sauce might be good for a topping on my popcorn. Had no clue how to make it. Google it, this video popped up. Took about 5 minutes. Only had mozzarella cheese and tapioca flour. I can confirm these are fine substitute ingredients. Because it worked great. 👍👍recipe 😋

    I made my own cheddar from scratch using milk, culture and rennet. It is currently aging and getting nice and sharp. And when it's done, this is what I want to do with it.
    Thank you so much for giving us a natural cheese recipe that can be done with plain old block cheese. I owe you big!

    Using a cornstarch slurry instead of flour in your rue for the natural cheese version makes it less grainy and thicker. The other advantage to that type is that it doesn't get a solid skin on it 30 seconds after pouring it in the bowl like the Velveeta version does. However, the Velveeta does taste really good.

    ..... For chili sauce .....
    Use liquid sauce like Sriracha Hot Sauce or similar are better than powder chili
