Steps

15 mins

1

Grate cheese on large holes of a box grater. You can substitute half the cheddar cheese with Pepper Jack for a spicier version.
2

Add cheese and cornstarch to large bowl. Toss to combine.
3

Transfer to medium saucepan. Add 1 cup (8 ounces) evaporated milk and hot sauce.
4

Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with whisk until melted, bubbly, and thickened (about 5 minutes).
5

Mixture will look thin and grainy at first but will thicken and come together after heating. Thin to desired consistency with additional evaporated milk. Serve immediately.
