Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb white American cheese, shredded or cubed
- ½ cup milk (add more for desired consistency)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies, drained
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
Optional Garnishes
- Chopped cilantro
- Jalapeños
Instructions
- Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat to create a smooth base for the cheese dip.
- Add Cheese and Milk: Add the white American cheese and milk to the saucepan, stirring constantly. Keep stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Incorporate Seasonings: Stir in the diced green chilies, garlic powder, and onion powder thoroughly to blend all the flavors evenly.
- Adjust Consistency: Continue stirring the dip until it reaches your desired thickness. If it’s too thick, add more milk gradually to loosen the texture.
- Serve: Serve the cheese dip hot alongside tortilla chips. Optionally garnish with chopped cilantro or jalapeños for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use white American cheese for the best creamy texture and authentic flavor.
- Adjust the milk quantity depending on how thick or runny you prefer the dip.
- Green chilies add a mild heat; jalapeños can increase spiciness if desired.
- This dip is best served warm and fresh.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
