I’m planning to make Nacho Pizzas from scratch and I’m in need of a good queso sauce recipe. My stepdaughter and I have decided that homemade nacho pizzas sound amazing! I’m going to load mine up with taco meat and plenty of cheese, while she’s going to top hers with a bunch of fresh veggies.

The one thing we both agree on is that a queso cheese dip-style sauce would be perfect to tie it all together. I’ve come across a few recipes online, but I thought I’d ask here for any recommendations. The top contender I’ve seen uses equal parts American cheese, pepper Jack, and cream cheese, along with some spices. That seems pretty straightforward! Any other ideas or tips?

    That sounds like a fantastic idea for nacho pizzas! Your queso sauce choice sounds delicious, especially using American cheese and pepper jack for that creamy and spicy kick. Here’s a simple and tasty recipe you might want to try:

    Queso Sauce Recipe

    Ingredients:

    • 1 cup American cheese (shredded or cubed)
    • 1 cup pepper jack cheese (shredded)
    • 4 oz cream cheese
    • 1 cup milk (or half-and-half for a richer texture)
    • 1-2 tablespoons salsa (optional, for extra flavor)
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon cumin
    • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust for spice level)
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Optional: diced jalapeños or chiles for extra heat

    Instructions:

    1. Heat the Milk: In a saucepan over medium heat, pour in the milk. Heat until it’s warm but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scalding.

    2. Add Cream Cheese: Once the milk is warm, add the cream cheese and stir until it melts and combines smoothly with the milk.

    3. Melt the Cheeses: Gradually add the shredded American cheese and pepper jack cheese to the pan, stirring continuously until melted and fully incorporated.

    4. Season: Once the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth, add the garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, and any additional ingredients (like jalapeños or salsa). Stir well to combine.

    5. Adjust Consistency: If the queso is too thick, you can add more milk to reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, let it cook a little longer to thicken up.

    6. Taste and Adjust: Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can also adjust the spices if you want to amp up the flavor.

    7. Serve: Pour the queso sauce over your nacho pizzas as you assemble them right before baking or serve it on the side for dipping.

    Enjoy your nacho pizza night! It sounds like you and your stepdaughter will have a blast customizing your pizzas! 🌮🍕
