Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter softened
- 2 cups white American cheese shredded, or Queso block cheese or Velveeta
- ½ cup Colby jack cheese shredded, plus extra for topping
- ½ cup heavy cream or whipping cream
- ¼ cup green chili chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper less if you are sensitive to spice
- jalapeno pepper chopped, seeded
- tomato chopped
- cilantro chopped
- black pepper
- tortilla chip for dipping
Instructions
- Pull out and measure all the ingredients.
- Spread an 8 or 9 inch skillet (I use cast iron) with butter. Heat over medium.
- Add in both cheeses, heavy cream green chilies, cumin, and cayenne.
- Stirring occasionally, cook for 10 minutes until cheeses are completely melted.
- Sprinkle ¼ - ⅓ cup shredded Colby Jack on top, and bake at 350 degrees for 7-8 minutes. Remove from oven and top with pepper, Jalapeno, cilantro and tomatoes.
- Serve with chips, veggies, crackers or whatever you desire. Enjoy every bite.
Notes
- If you want a thicker cheese dip or sauce simply add more cheese, a little at a time
- Plain white or orange sharp cheddar, mozzarella, or even muenster or Jack cheeses are great substitutes if needed
- You can use American cheese, Velveeta or Queso block cheese (or a combination) to make this into a Velveeta queso dip
- Shred your own cheese so it melts properly. Avoid the pre-shredded bags if at all possible
- If adding ground beef or chorizo sausage be sure to drain before adding it to your dip to avoid it becoming greasy
