Product Highlights

• 16 ounce dry mix containers, 16 per case for high-volume operations
• Shelf-stable dry format eliminates refrigeration requirements before preparation

• Portions on demand; prepare only what each service period requires

Preparation & Use

Whisk the dry cheese sauce mix into water at the ratio specified on the container label, then heat while stirring until smooth and fully blended. Adjust water volume up or down to reach the desired consistency, whether a pourable sauce for nachos or a thicker coating for macaroni and cheese. Prepared sauce can be held warm in a steam table or fondue pot for service periods; stir occasionally to maintain a uniform texture. Store unopened containers in a cool, dry area away from direct heat, and seal partially used containers tightly to preserve freshness.

Common Applications

Chefs Companion Cheese Sauce Mix fits into a range of menu concepts beyond basic nacho service. Use it as a base for queso dip by adding diced tomatoes, green chiles, and cilantro. Fold it into breakfast burritos or breakfast potato skillets for a cheese layer that does not require melting solid cheese from cold. It also works as a finishing sauce for roasted vegetables, a moistening layer in party potatoes or au gratin dishes, and a quick topping for soft pretzels or stuffed peppers in cafeteria lines.
