Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Dip:
- 1 lb white American cheese, cubed or shredded
- 1/4 cup whole milk (plus more as needed)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon diced green chilies (optional)
- 1 teaspoon pickled jalapeño juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Melt Cheese: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white American cheese, milk, and heavy cream. Stir constantly until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, about 5–7 minutes.
- Season: Add the diced green chilies (if using), jalapeño juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
- Adjust Consistency: If the dip is too thick, add more milk a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve: Keep warm over low heat until ready to serve. Serve with tortilla chips, warm tortillas, or fresh veggies.
Notes
- For best results, use white American cheese from the deli counter—pre-packaged slices may not melt as smoothly.
- You can also add cooked chorizo, diced tomatoes, or fresh cilantro for a flavor twist.
- Keep leftovers in the fridge and reheat gently with a splash of milk.
