Real Nacho Cheese Sauce

 Nacho cheese sauce in the jar sure is tasty but who really knows what is in it? This is a real food version that is quite tasty.  

1 cup whipping cream 
1 TBS cornstarch 
1 cup grated monterey jack 
1 cup grated pepper jack 
1/4 tsp paprika 
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder 
1/4 tsp salt 

Pour a little bit of the whipping cream into a small cup.  Whisk in 1 TBS of cornstarch and set aside.  
Pour remaining cream into a pot and heat for 2-3 minutes.  Add cheese & spices to cream and whisk while continuing to heat.  Slowly pour the cornstarch/cream mixture into the cheese sauce, whisking the whole time.  Continue to stir until cheese sauce is thickened. 

Serve with tortilla chips.
