Scale
Cheese Dip Ingredients
- 1/2 pound white American cheese
- 1/4 cup milk (plus more if desired for thinner consistency)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 (4 oz) can of green chilies
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (a pinch)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the white American cheese, milk, and butter in a saucepan set over low heat. This gentle heat helps to melt the cheese smoothly without burning.
- Melt the Cheese: Stir the mixture frequently as it heats until the cheese and butter have completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Seasonings: Stir in the canned green chilies along with the cumin, garlic salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Be cautious with the cayenne, as only a small amount is needed to add a subtle heat.
- Adjust Consistency: If you prefer the dip to be thinner, gradually add more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve Warm: Serve the cheese dip immediately alongside chips, tortillas, or your favorite Mexican dishes while warm and creamy.
Notes
- Use low heat to avoid burning the cheese.
- Adjust cayenne pepper to taste for desired spice level.
- Add milk gradually to control dip thickness.
- This dip is best served warm but can be reheated gently before serving.
- Substitute white American cheese with Monterey Jack for a different flavor experience.
