The best way to melt cheese:
Cheese cut into small pieces or shredded promotes a more even melting in a shorter amount of time. When you add cheese to any recipe, cook on low heat, stirring constantly. High heat will toughen cheese and make it stringy. When you are making a sauce with cheese in it, add cheese as the
last ingredient and heat until just melted.
Cheese for Nachos
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika -- or chili powder
1 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or shredded Mexican 4 blend cheese
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3 drops Tabasco sauce or to taste
In a heavy 2-quart saucepan over low heat, melt butter.
Add flour, salt, pepper and paprika or chili powder to melted butter. Stir together over low heat until smooth.
Gradually stir in milk; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth. Stir the shredded cheese, ground cumin and Tabasco into the hot white sauce. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, just until the cheese is melted. Serve over tortilla chips for easy nachos.
Use Velveeta....
1 lb. sausage, crumble and fry, drain well
2 cans picante dip
1 lg. container (4 lbs) Velveeta cheese, cube or shred
6 sm. jalapeno peppers, sliced thin
Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Heat thoroughly, stirring occasionally, until all cheese is melted. Serve with nacho chips.
You can use the jars of cheez whiz or you can make a basic white sauce (2 tbsp flour cooked in 2 tbsp butter, add 1 12 cups milk) and add 2 cups shredded cheddar for a cheesy sauce. I bought a jar of the cheddar cheese sauce made by Ragu for philly cheese steak sandwiches and they came out awesome! Good luck.
Buy a jar of Chez-Whiz and nuke it.

The main problem that you're running into is the lack of milk in the cheese that you're using. Try placing a little milk in the sauce pan along with the cheese, heat slowly, stir often, and keep adjusting your mixture of milk to cheese to get it right.
Buy the nacho cheese in the jar.
It is difficult to make it homemade.
They sell the jars in the potato chip section of the grocery store or use the canned Campbell's nacho cheese soup.
if you put shredded cheese ontop of chips or something and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds then 15 or 10 it usually comes out real good. you may need to alter the time based on your microwave.
YOU NEED A DOUBLE BOILER AND MILK WAIT TILL YOUR MILK GETS HOT ENOUGH AND PUT IN CHEESE AND STIR SO CHEESE DON'T BURN
Add cream or milk, microwave at minute intervals, stir it between minute intervals . It will be creamy but you still need to cover if you put left overs in the fridge. You can also add salsa it you would want. It is also good for mac & cheese.
You need to use a processed American cheese, such as Velveta. There are even simple directions on the box!
What you want melted cheese you need to make a cheese sauce. You heat milk until it is about to boil. Add a thickening agent (roux) this is made with equal parts oil and flour. Add this slowly until the thickness you want is reached. Add shredded cheese to the sauce. the amount you add will control the amount of cheesiness.
You can add whatever you want to the basic sauce. It can become Nacho sauce, cheese sauce for coney's or an elegant morney sauce.
use cheese whiz and melt it.
Use Velveeta and put it in the microwave.
