Nacho cheese, brought to you by Alka-Seltzer.
(Yes, really.)
It might sound crazy, but this makes a nacho cheese sauce that tastes like really good cheese - and you can refrigerate it and nuke it over and over.
1. Combine 3 Alka-Seltzer tablets (aspirin-free, flavor-free) with 6 teaspoons (60 g) of distilled vinegar. Let it react until the fizzing stops.
2. Grate 6 oz / 170 g of medium-hard cheese, like cheddar.
3. Pour the Alka-Seltzer mix into a pot and stir in the cheese over medium heat until melted and smooth.
4. Adjust to your desired consistency with water, about 3 oz / 85 g.
5. Stir in your favorite chili peppers and enjoy.
