Turn on the Ninja Foodi to high sear sauté or use medium-high heat on the stove.

Add 3/4 cup of water or your favorite beer to the pot.

Add 1 teaspoon of sodium citrate to the water or beer and stir to combine.

Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Once simmering, reduce heat to low.

Add 6 oz of shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese to the pot.

Stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Cook for a few minutes, stirring every 30 seconds to a minute, until the desired consistency is reached.

If the sauce thickens too much while serving, microwave for 5 seconds to return it to a liquid state.
