Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a bit of heat)
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded American cheese (or Velveeta)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
  2. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is smooth and bubbly. This is your roux and will help thicken the cheese dip!
  3. Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  4. Continue to cook and whisk until the mixture starts to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add the mustard powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the mixture.
  6. Stir to combine it all together.
  7. Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the shredded cheeses, one handful at a time, stirring until completely melted and smooth before adding more. I used chopped in my video because I had that on hand but shredded is a bit easier.
  8. Continue to stir until all the cheese is melted and the dip is smooth and creamy.
  9. Taste the dip and add salt as needed and then stir to combine.
  10. Pour the nacho cheese dip into a serving bowl and serve immediately with Crunchmaster crackers.
