Preparation

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the shredded White American cheese, heavy cream, and milk. Stir together gently, allowing the cheese to begin to soften.
  • Cook over low heat, stirring continuously until the cheese fully melts and the mixture is smooth.
  • Sprinkle in the ground cumin and garlic powder, mixing well to incorporate the spices.
  • If the dip seems too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and enjoy it warm with tortilla chips or veggies.

For best results, always keep the heat low and stir continuously. Adjust consistency by adding milk if needed. This dip pairs well with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, nachos, and is versatile enough for various occasions.
