Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces white American cheese
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 ounces diced green chilies (canned)
- 1 medium jalapeño, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the white American cheese into small cubes for easier melting.
In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, add the whole milk and cheese cubes.
Stir the mixture frequently to ensure the cheese melts evenly and does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
Once the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth, stir in the diced green chilies and finely diced jalapeño.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Cook the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes over low heat, stirring continuously to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
Pour the cheese dip into a serving bowl and serve warm with tortilla chips, vegetables, or as a topping for tacos or nachos.
