How to spice up cheese sauce

Cheese sauce is a well-loved, versatile condiment or dip that can serve as a blank canvas for innovation and add cheesy goodness to a wide range of items – think everything from loaded fries/nachos to tacos to pizza to appetizers like pretzel bites and jalapeno poppers. With kids loving dippable foods, cheese sauce could be an appealing condiment to add to kids’ menus, too. To increase appeal among younger, more adventurous generations of consumers, consider offering a variety of cheese sauce flavors, such as spicy (integrate peppers like jalapenos or on-trend ingredients like chili crisp) or play with the types of cheese used to create the sauce. While cheddar is classic, other options like blue cheese, Gouda, pepper Jack, Gruyere, or even vegan cheese could be leveraged to expand the appeal of cheese sauce.​
