Can i use this recipe with grated chedder cheese instead of sliced american cheese???

Answer 1

I'm assuming you mean Nacho's with Cheese?? From Australia here so apologies if you mean something else. You can either use a powerful microwave or an oven. Pour the nachos, add the salsa (you can make your own or simply buy at the supermarket) and then add the cheese and melt it in the microwave or oven. A powerful microwave will do the job, but if its not powerful enough or you leave it too long your nachos will become soggy. Putting them in an oven is better but takes longer. Now the cheeses I tend to use is grated 'Tasty' cheese which is a cheddar type of cheese that Kraft and a number of other brands make. Or failing that Mozzarella. Note that make sure its grated, if you use blocks of cheese or the single slices it won't turn out so good. With respect to taste if you like a stronger tasting cheese you go for the more mature type cheeses. After this you can add your jalapenos and your sour cream and spring onion. Bon Appetit Jon

Answer 2

Yes you can, double your butter and make it 3 Tbs. of flour and add another 1/4 C of milk for your Bechamel. You may need just a touch more milk when you get your cheese incorporated to get to the right constancy. Just like making a cheese sauce. You will need to keep everything warm or it will tighten up faster then the use of processed cheese. Where's the Jalapenos?

Answer 3

I see no problem with it. What you are basically making is a cheese gravy from a roux. I use the shredded cheddar cheese (bagged in the grocery) in most my mexican recipes and find it melts quickly and evenly.

Answer 4

You need to ask yourself which type of cheese tastes best to you and use what you chose. There will be a difference in taste because it isn't exactly the same, but should still be good.

Answer 5

Cheddar does not melt to a good consistency, I do not think you will like the results. Cheese whiz could be substituted.

Answer 6

You can, but it won't be the same. You need that processed oil in the American. But for really great melting, use (the hated) Velveeta.

Answer 7
