Instructions

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the shredded white American cheese, milk, and heavy cream. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
As the cheese begins to melt, add garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin (if using). Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Add the diced green chilies and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
If the dip is too thick, add additional milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Once smooth and creamy, remove from heat and pour into a serving bowl.
Optional: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, or veggies for dipping.

Notes

Spicy Variations: For extra heat, add diced jalapeños, hot sauce, or cayenne pepper.

Meat Option: Stir in some cooked chorizo or ground beef for a heartier dip.

Extra Creaminess: Mix in cream cheese along with the heavy cream for an even richer texture.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk to return it to a creamy consistency.
