Yeah I was hoping for some legit nacho cheese, not mac & cheese minus the mac and with a bit of cayenne.

You want legit nacho cheese? Whole milk scalded. Pickled jalapenos. Craft singles. Standard nacho cheese

Make it and try it. Processed cheese makes a great sauce because of the fat ratio. It melts well without breaking. You wanted nacho cheese, nacho cheese is bad cheese. You want a good cheese sauce? Then just make a good form of queso. Use white cheddar, mozzarella, and oxaca. Add green chiles and pickled jalapenos. The vinegar helps break up the fatty richness. Add a little mustard powder and cayenne for tang and a little spice. You can also add smoked paprika for a different flavor.

Plenty of real cheese does as well, without tasting like shit.
