Ingredients

  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1 Tbsp corn starch Argo brand
  • 8 oz. cheddar cheese shredded, medium

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium saucepan whisk together half and half and cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Bring to a light boil over medium-high heat stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer 30 seconds, stirring constantly, then remove from heat.
  3. Immediately stir in cheese and return to low heat and stir to fully melt cheese. Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping.

Notes

  • *Don't use pre-shredded cheese. Buy a block and shred it yourself. 
  • The cheese dip will be a little runny at first, but will nicely thicken as it cools. With that said, this dip is best enjoyed right after making.
  • Note that the sauce will not reheat well, so scale as needed.
