Ingredients
- 16 oz White American cheese
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 tbsp Butter

- 1 small Jalapeño (optional, finely diced)
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder

Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the butter over medium-low heat until melted.
Add the whole milk to the saucepan and warm it without bringing it to a boil.
