Ingredients

1/2 pound white American cheese, cubed or sliced

1/4 cup milk (more as needed for desired consistency)

1 tablespoon butter

1 (4 oz) can green chiles

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (a pinch)

Instructions

  1. Place cheese, milk, and butter in a saucepan over low heat.
  2. Heat, stirring frequently, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Stir in the green chiles, cumin, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper.
  4. If the dip is too thick, stir in additional milk a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  5. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, pretzels, or your favorite Mexican dishes.

Notes

  • Use a double boiler if available to prevent the cheese from burning.
  • Substitute Velveeta Blanco if white American cheese is unavailable.
  • To spice it up, add diced jalapeños or extra cayenne pepper.
  • Keep warm in a slow cooker for serving at parties.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
