Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 pound white american cheese
1/4 cup milk (more if you want your dip thinner)
1 tablespoon butter
1 (4-ounce) can green chilis

1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

Tips:

- For a creamier dip, use full-fat sour cream and cream cheese. - If you don't have green chiles, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of chili powder. - To make the dip ahead of time, simply prepare it as directed and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. - You can also bake the dip in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the dip for 15-20 minutes, or until it is bubbly and hot. - Serve the dip with tortilla chips, vegetable crudités, or crackers.
