Product Information

In addition to the widely popular Vegemite, Australia is behind another crowd-pleasing canned favorite, Bega Canned Cheese. With an over 100 year history, Bega is a well-developed product with a stable shelf life. The ingredient list is reasonable and even better than some comparisons. They do not use real cheddar like some do. They add jalapeño peppers for a little bit of flavor and they seem to have the recipe down quite well to meet that sweet spot. This particularly canned nacho cheese is made in cans with a BPA-free lining. They come ready to simply heat and serve so you don’t have to worry about cooking the sauce for preparation. The can is not actually an aerosol spray, since it does not combine the cheese with a propellant to create a fine mist upon being sprayed. Rather, the can contains a piston and a barrier plastic cap which squeezes the cheese through the nozzle in a solid column when the nozzle is pressed and the propellant expands in volume. The propellant does not mix with the cheese. Normal aerosol cans are charged with all of their contents through the single opening at the top, but spray cheese cans are separately charged with the product through the top and propellant through the bottom. This explains why the can has a small rubber plug on its base. The can design also ensures that the cheese can be dispensed with the can upright or inverted.

One of the first things that you should consider is your personal preferences. This is important to make sure you actually get the best cheese for you. We all have different flavor preferences.There are plenty of ways to use any leftover nacho cheese. The obvious use is to make nachos but if you have leftover cheese or you just want to try something different, you can consider some of these options. Now here is the important part!! I didn’t figure this out until I pulled the first jar out of the water. DO NOT REMOVE THE JARS FROM THE WATER UNTIL THEY HAVE COOLED DOWN. If you take them out of the boiling water, the oil from the cheese boils out of the jars and they won’t seal. Just leave the jars of cheese under water and allow to cool slowly. THEN take them out of the water. When they have cooled all the way down, I remove the rings and wash jars and rings in hot, soapy water to remove any oils. After drying, I reapply the rings and store the jars of cheese. This sauce is made to be slightly spicy with a salsa de queso style recipe that is robust and flavorful. They make the sauce with 100% real cheese and add yellow jalapeños as well as green chilies for flavor and spice. Overall, I think Chef-mate Que Bueno Spicy Nacho Cheese Sauce is a decent choice for those seeking a spicy and tasty canned cheese sauce for their nachos. While it may not be perfect, it does deliver on flavor and versatility, making it a good addition to various dishes. Chef-mate Que Bueno White Queso and Nacho Cheese Sauce

Thank goodness for the Internet. Enola Gay at Paratus Familia had the solution. Can it! Can cheese? Really? She showed how to can hard cheeses and that got me to thinking about canning the Velveeta too. I researched and researched, and found several ways to do that as well. I wound up with what I think worked best for me. So first I’ll show you how I canned the hard cheeses, and then the Velveeta. Talk about handy. You can’t believe how wonderful it is to have canned cheeses. You can shred and slice the hard cheese and the Velveeta is just as good as if it were in the box. I suppose at this point I should throw in the disclaimer that I haven’t found anything that indicates the government watchdogs have given their seal of approval to this, but then, they don’t like us canning apple pie filling either. From everything I have read, these canned cheeses last up to two years. And so, I’ve learned something new out of necessity. I LOVE having cheese in the can. It is so easy and I don’t have to worry about refrigeration. The cheddar gets a little sharper as it ages and tastes wonderful when opened. So cut the cheese and call me “Happy”!! You can easily heat up this cheese in the microwave and it is great for both dipping and topping. It has just that right consistency overall to be useful and versatile. This is fully-cooked cheese so it is ready for you to simply heat up and serve however you like with your nachos. It is a nice, creamy consistency so it works well as a topping or a dip. The flavor is mild with just a hint of spice to it.This one comes in a jar instead of a can but it really is the same concept. You won’t want to pass up this Tostitos brand queso with a hearty flavor. This is a simple option that comes in a 15-ounce container, sealed with a lid much like a canned option. It’s affordable and delicious. The ingredients list is comparable to most other canned cheeses we have shared. The flavor includes jalapeño peppers but remains mild overall.
