Eat it with tortilla chips or put it on baked potatoes.

Get some sodium citrate next time. Makes the best cheese dip.

this guy looks like he's about to rob a sperm bank

>>17281888
checked. make jalapeno poppers dingaling

>>17281904
When I fry here the smoke sets off my alarm. Is there a way to make a popper-type appetizer in my oven only

>>17281888
>tried to make nacho cheese sauce
>turned out like the sauce inside a jalapeno popper
you didn't add enough/any cream
heat it again and mix in a shit ton of cream
>salsa con queso
just adding melted cheese to salsa, without another additive, is going to give you what you got

>>17281914
It tastes good now as an interior sauce, just not as nacho cheese. Messing with it any more may make it inedible. Is there some kind of cheese pie with ham I could make? I've never made a savory pie before.

>>17281914
Also I added sour cream and milk, I just think this cheese wasn't suited for this

>>17281935
>sour cream and milk
anon, no...
Maybe this is my fault because I wasn't specific enough.
"Cream" as in "heavy cream" (aka: heavy whipping cream, whipping cream).

>>17281983
well, shid. it still tastes okay and I learned a lesson. I just don't want it with chips because it's no good with chips

Sodium citrate is what you need to make it creamy, you don't need cream or a roux or any other retarded shit.
Cheese, jalapeño and sodium citrate (Trisodium citrate dihydrate is a salt of citric acid).
A 3% ratio of sodium to the cheese is about what you'll need.

So for about a cup of cheese:
2000g cheese
4.5g sodium citrate
30g jalapeño
1.5g salt

I like 50/50 cheese to whole milk when I make nacho cheese. Pickled jalapenos are great as well.

No milk is good for making melty cheese for burgers and grilled cheese. You can add butter and heavy cream to that for extra goodness.

if it makes you feel any better, the first time i tried to make rice crispie treats i did it by memory and thought they needed to be baked in the oven

>>17282036
Wait, rice krispie treats don't need to be baked? I haven't made them since I was 8 years old but I swear they required baking

>>17282011
Based, thank you for the tips

>>17282046
>but I swear they required baking
See how fucking easy it is to be wrong about that?!?! I was admittedly still pretty young and stupid when I did that, but everything in my head was saying "of course baking them makes sense."
>just melt the marshmallow and butter
>mix together with the cereal
>spread into pan
>wait to cool
>that's it
Baking them turns it into a brick.
Not "lol, this is a tough rice crispie!"
A fucking inedible, SOLID brick.

>>17282080
Well it doesn't even matter anymore since rice krispies are illegal now anyway

>>17282127
>rice krispies are illegal now anyway
not here, baby, WOOOO! U-S-A-U-S-A!

works just about as well with most other cereals

>>17282182
I'm in the USA and I can't find like 80% of cereal of any kind

>>17282191
probably backordered outside of states that produce/headquarter them
Kellogg's just got their shit back together too.
And there are countries/regions changing food labeling laws (like there isn't anything bigger going on...), so recalls are a mess right now.

>>17281905
you can fry with a lower heat and higher breading content, or open a window, or wait until you can fry, etc..
that cheese would also make a cool loaded nacho pizza

>>17282011
Yeah thanks. Not putting (((chemical additives))) anywhere near my food, retard.

>>17283050
You'd rather pay someone else to do that for you, very understandable.

>>17282127
What socialist hell hole outlawed rice krispies?

>>17283050
You may want to consider not using any sodium chloride either. I've heard it's actually a chemical additive that can kill you! Oh lawdy.
