Steps

1

Let's start with cooking the beef. Dissolve 2.5 tbsp Taco Seasoning Mix in 1/4 water. Set aside
2

Brown meat in oil. Drain excess oil. Then pour in Taco mixture. Simmer until sauce is absorbed by meat. Set this aside.
3

Now let's make the cheese sauce. Melt 2 tbsp butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Once butter has melted, add 2 tbsp flour. Whisk until it combines into a smooth blonde paste and starts to bubble around the edges.
4

Add 1 cup whole milk and continue whisking. Once the milk is incorporated, rise the heat to high and bring to a boil.
5

Once the milk has reached a boil, quickly lower the heat and reduce to a simmer. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
6

Add 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper and 1/4 tsp salt and whisk to combine.
7

Turn off the heat, then add 1 cup block sharp cheddar cheese; grated. Gently stir, allowing the cheese to melt.
8

When the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth in consistency, the nacho cheese sauce is ready to serve.
9

Place Nacho chips in a serving bowl, add the cheese sauce and top it off with the beef. Share and enjoy!
