Instructions
- Add the cubed white American cheese, milk, and butter to a medium saucepan over low heat.
- Stir frequently as the cheese melts, creating a smooth and creamy mixture.
- Mix in the chopped green chilies, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.

- Continue heating while stirring until all the ingredients are fully combined and the dip is hot.
- Serve immediately while warm for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
Tips for the Best Cheese Dip
- Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to make the dip as mild or as spicy as you like.
- Whole milk creates a richer, creamier consistency than lower-fat alternatives.
- For a bright, fresh flavor, stir in a squeeze of lime juice just before serving.
- Keep the dip warm in a small slow cooker or warming dish if serving at a party to maintain its smooth texture.
