Mexican Restaurant Cheese Dip
Place the cubed white American cheese, milk, and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
Stir frequently as the cheese begins to melt, ensuring the heat stays low to avoid separation.
Once melted, add green chilies, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper if desired.
Mix thoroughly until the spices are evenly incorporated and the dip is smooth.
If the dip is too thick, add more milk until the desired consistency is achieved.
Heat through, stirring occasionally, then pour into a serving bowl.
Serve immediately with chips, veggies, or your favorite dippers.
Notes
Use low heat to prevent the cheese from becoming grainy.
Adjust the spice level by adding jalapeños or extra cayenne pepper.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat gently with added milk to maintain creaminess.
