Ingredients

1 cup grated cheddar cheese (sharp or mild based on preference)

1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup evaporated milk

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional for thicker consistency)

1 jalapeño, finely chopped (optional for a spicy kick)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and cream cheese over low heat.

Slowly pour in the evaporated milk while stirring continuously to help the cheeses melt evenly.

Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well blended and the mixture becomes smooth.

If you prefer a thicker consistency, dissolve the cornstarch in a small amount of cold water, then add it to the pot, stirring to combine.

If you're using the jalapeño for an extra kick, fold it into the mixture at this point.

Continue to heat gently, stirring frequently until the cheese dip is gooey and fully melted.

Remove from heat and serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or pretzel bites.
