Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Mixture

    In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the cream cheese and milk. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and smooth.

  2. 2

    Add Cheeses and Seasonings

    Once the cream cheese mixture is smooth, gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until fully melted. Then, mix in the diced green chilies, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Once the cheese dip is creamy and well mixed, remove from heat. Optionally garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Serve warm with tortilla chips, veggies, or your favorite dippers.
