In a saucepan, heat vegetable oil and unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about a minute to cook off the raw flour taste.

Gradually whisk in 1 cup of whole milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Stir in salt, smoked paprika, English mustard, and Sriracha sauce.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking continuously. Once simmering, lower the heat and cook for another minute.

Remove the saucepan from heat and gradually add the sharp cheddar cheese, whisking until the cheese has completely melted.

If needed, adjust the consistency by whisking in the remaining 1/2 cup of warm milk. If the cheese is not melting properly, return the saucepan to low heat for a few seconds while stirring.

Serve the nacho cheese sauce immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving, stirring to maintain smoothness.
