Ive looked everywhere for it but supermarkets in the UK dont sell this american cheese sauce you dip nachos in...or am I looking in the wrong place? :I

After returning from visiting my brother in the States I got a hankering for nachos and cheese sauce, as sold in so many bars over there. The nearest I could find was Heinz 'Toast Toppers', but it took a lot of searching even to find the small and expensive jars of it - they seem to have been dropped by most supermarkets.
So I looked up a recipe and found this one. For the cheese, just use Kraft Cheese Slices.

Hate to offer this as the base is not exactly quality - get a bottle of American squeezy cheese. Warm it and stir in some chilli, diced skinned and de-seeded tomatoes and season to taste.

and the american squeezy cheese can be found in supermarkets? :I

thanks for the recipe heathfield!

Hi F - the squeezy cheese stuff is in the condiment aisle - by the relishes etc. Or if you have friend with a cash & carry card for Makro, you can get larger 'bottles' in there aimed at the mobile caterer.

Had a look in the relish aisle today at sainsburys and didnt find the cheesy squeeze stuff :(

If you can find a 2 or 3 pound box of this:

You can make a fabulous dip.

Brown & drain - one pound of hamburger (minced beef) and one pound of bulk sausage.
Put it in a slow cooker on low heat.
Cut the Velveeta into large chunks (unwaxed, unminted dental floss works great to slice cheese) and toss it in the slow cooker.
Add 2 cans of Ro-tel tomatoes (tomatoes with green chilis).
Use tortilla chips to dip with.

When this is melted it is way better than it sounds like it will be.

Do you have Taco Bell there? If so they have Nacho Belle Grande that are pretty good.

[filthiestfis]

No we dont have Taco Bell in the UK.

Doritos do a cheese sauce for nachos. We only have a small sainburys in my town, and they do it, plus a nice salsa one. Its with the crisps in my store.
