Equipment

  • airtight container
  • marker or pen
  • freezer bags

Ingredients

  • Nacho Cheese homemade or store-bought

Instructions

  • If you have made your nacho cheese at home, ensure that it is completely cool before getting started.
  • Portion out the cheese in the amounts you will need as you defrost it.
  • Scoop the cheese into a freezer bag or an airtight container.
    note: if using an airtight container, use one sized so that there is only an inch or two between the cheese and the lid. This will minimize the air exposure.
  • Zip your freezer bag closed, after pressing all the air out of it. If using a container, press the lid securely down on it.
  • Jot the date on the bag or container and stick it in the freezer.

Notes

Cool well: if you make it at home, make sure it is totally cooled before starting to package it up.
Make it fresh:  whether store-bought or homemade, ensure you freeze as soon as possible to lock in maximum taste, quality and freshness.
Portion accordingly: know how much you will use when you defrost and portion it and package it in those amounts.  This way you only defrost the amount you need each time.
