Lazy Summer Days call for Lazy Summer Meals & Snacks!
I won't lie, all the credit for this tip should go to my son's birth-mother.
We do a lot of our bulk shopping at the warehouse stores, (Sam's Club, Costco/Price Club, BJ's, etc) and we love Nacho Cheese Sauce!
One day I pulled the Nacho Cheese Sauce from the refrigerator and complained about how I wished there was an easier way to serve and store it. My son suggested that I do what his birth-mother does, and that is to store the sauce in a crock-pot (the type with removable crock).
When ready to use, place insert into crock pot base and set on "high" setting.
Heat until warm! Just make sure it is stirred occasionally so that the sauce is heated thoroughly.
Crock pot insert can be transferred from crock pot base to refrigerator for easy storage when not in use.

(Editors Extremely Important Side Note: When cheese sauce is heated to desired temperature, turn crock pot down to "Keep Warm" setting, otherwise the sauce will bubble up and begin to burn! I just made that mistake this evening..)
When not in use, cover cheese sauce with lid and store in refrigerator!
I'm very particular with the type of Nacho Cheese Sauce I buy. I look for quality. If you have access to Sysco Products then the best Nacho Cheese Sauce to buy is Casa Solana Nacho Cheese Sauce. Words can't describe the scrumptious taste of that sauce! Yum!!!
You can find these sauces (pictured below) at the warehouse stores or Walmart's family aisle. They are almost as good as the Sysco brand.
Rico's: Rico's has several variations of cheese sauces. If you want quality make sure to purchase Rico's "Condensed Aged Cheese Sauce".
Baker's & Chefs: This is a brand sold at most Sam's Clubs. This cheese sauce is awesome! I haven't seen it sold in Oklahoma but I know that up east they sell it! When we travel up to Ohio for our Family Harvest Dinner I plan to bring back a couple cans of the Baker's & Chef's brand Nacho Cheese Sauce. I love it!
