Blockbuster Movie Cheese Dip
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
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- 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!
- Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
- Continue to cook and whisk until the mixture starts to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the mustard powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the mixture.
- Stir to combine it all together.
- 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.
- Continue to stir until all the cheese is melted and the dip is smooth and creamy.
- Taste the dip and add salt as needed and then stir to combine.
- Pour the nacho cheese dip into a serving bowl and serve immediately with Crunchmaster crackers.
