Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tsps onion powder
- 2 tsps garlic powder
- 2 tsps cumin
- 2 cans chopped green chilies
- 1 tbsp butter or margarine
- 1/2 cup milk, or as needed
- 1 pound white American cheese, cubed
Instructions
- Place the cubed white American cheese, milk, and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
- Stir frequently as the cheese begins to melt, ensuring the heat stays low to avoid separation.
- Once melted, add green chilies, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper if desired.
- Mix thoroughly until the spices are evenly incorporated and the dip is smooth.
- If the dip is too thick, add more milk until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Heat through, stirring occasionally, then pour into a serving bowl.
- Serve immediately with chips, veggies, or your favorite dippers.
Notes
- Use low heat to prevent the cheese from becoming grainy.
- Adjust the spice level by adding jalapeños or extra cayenne pepper.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat gently with added milk to maintain creaminess.
