Ingredients
  

  • ½ lb White American cheese
  • ¼ cup Milk
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 4 oz Canned green chiles
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic salt
  • A pinch Cayenne pepper

Instructions
 

  • Slice or cube the white American cheese into smaller pieces for easier melting.
  • Open the canned green chiles and measure out the spices.
  • In a medium saucepan or skillet, combine the cheese, milk, and butter. Set the heat to low and stir often until the cheese is mostly melted.
  • Stir in the green chiles, ground cumin, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper. Continue stirring until everything is fully combined and melted.
  • If the dip is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • If it's too thin, heat it a little longer on low to thicken it up.
  • Serve the cheese dip hot with tortilla chips, warm tortillas, or fresh veggie sticks.
  • For larger gatherings, keep it warm in a slow cooker.

Notes

  • Let cheese sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before using for even melting.
  • Keep stirring the cheese mixture to prevent sticking and burning.
  • Fresh jalapeños can be used for more heat.
