Chefs Companion Instant Cheese Sauce Mix, 2 Pound, 8 Per Case

Chefs Companion Instant Cheese Sauce Mix delivers a clean, product-focused experience with the flavor, texture, and everyday appeal shoppers expect from this item.

Uses

Nacho topping: Drizzle over tortilla chips, loaded nachos, and concession snacks for a classic cheese sauce finish that stays smooth under heat lamps.
Mac and cheese: Stir into cooked pasta for a quick, creamy macaroni and cheese that holds its texture on buffet lines and in cafeteria service.
Vegetable topping: Spoon over steamed broccoli, cauliflower, baked potatoes, and green beans for a ready-made cheese blanket.
Hot sandwich dressing: Layer onto cheesesteaks, burgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, and pretzel bites for a melty, flavorful accent.
Casserole base: Use as the cheese component in baked casseroles, au gratin dishes, and scalloped potato recipes where a pourable sauce is faster than shredded cheese.

Preparation & Use

Whisk the instant cheese sauce mix into warm water according to the ratio on the container label, stirring until smooth and fully dissolved. For a thicker sauce, reduce the water slightly; for a thinner pourable consistency, add more water in small increments. The prepared sauce can be held on a steam table or in a warmer for standard foodservice holding times and will reheat cleanly without breaking. Use the dry mix directly as a seasoning sprinkle on popcorn, fries, or roasted nuts for a dry-cheese flavor without preparing the full sauce.

Common Applications

Beyond nachos and macaroni, Chefs Companion Instant Cheese Sauce works as a dipping sauce for soft pretzels, chicken tenders, and breadsticks; a finishing pour over breakfast eggs and hash browns; and a base for cheese soups when blended with broth or milk. It can also be thinned and used as a cheese drizzle for stadium-style fries or combined with jalapeños and ground beef for a quick queso dip.
