Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 cans chopped green chilies
- 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
- 1/2 cup milk, or as needed
- 1 pound white American cheese, cubed
- Cayenne pepper to taste
Directions:
- Prepare Ingredients:
- Measure out the onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, and set aside.
- Open the cans of chopped green chilies.
- Cube the white American cheese.
- Combine Cheese, Milk, and Butter:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, place the cubed white American cheese, milk, and butter over low heat.
- Cook the mixture until the cheese has fully melted, stirring frequently to ensure a smooth consistency.
- Add Green Chilies:
- Stir in the chopped green chilies into the melted cheese mixture.
- Continue to stir to distribute the green chilies evenly.
- Season the Dip:
- Add the measured onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper to taste.
- Adjust the level of cayenne pepper based on your spice preference.
- Adjust Consistency:
- If the dip is too thick, add more milk gradually until you reach the desired consistency.
- Keep in mind that the dip will thicken slightly as it cools, so it’s better to have it slightly thinner than desired.
- Heat Through:
- Heat the dip through, ensuring that all ingredients are well incorporated and heated evenly.
- Be cautious not to bring it to a boil; low heat is sufficient.
- Serve Immediately:
- Once the dip is heated through and has a smooth, creamy consistency, it’s ready to be served.
- Transfer the cheese dip to a serving bowl.
- Garnish (Optional):
- Consider garnishing the dip with additional chopped green chilies or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for presentation.
- Enjoy:
