nacho cheese
Stadium snack topping
Nacho cheese is a processed cheese sauce, typically bright orange-yellow and smooth enough to pour or dip.
It's the standard topping for nachos at movie theaters, stadiums, and convenience stores, usually dispensed warm from a pump: The nachos came with a cup of nacho cheese on the side.
The term can describe any cheese product mimicking this style, regardless of whether actual nachos are involved.
