Instructions
- Place the cubed white American cheese, milk, and butter into a medium saucepan. Heat over low heat.
- Stir frequently as the cheese melts, making sure the mixture stays smooth and doesn’t scorch.
- Once fully melted, stir in the green chilies, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
- If the dip thickens too much, gradually add more milk until the desired consistency is reached.
- Continue heating gently until the dip is fully blended and warmed through.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Helpful Tips
- Adjust the cayenne pepper to make the dip mild or spicy.
- Using whole milk results in a richer, creamier sauce.
- A small splash of fresh lime juice can brighten the flavor just before serving.
