Chili cheese dip is a delicious and spicy dip often served as a side dish with various dishes. It consists primarily of cheddar cheese, chili, and a variety of spices. The dip has a creamy texture and a spicy flavor created by the addition of chili. It is especially popular in American and Mexican cuisine and is often served with nachos, hot dogs, burgers, or fajitas.
Some variations of chili cheese dip may also include ingredients like chopped onions, garlic, tomatoes, or even beer. The process for making chili cheese dip can vary, but generally, the cheese is melted and then blended with the other ingredients until a smooth dip or creamy sauce is created.
Despite its spicy flavor, the dip/sauce is also known for its rich and savory quality.
TIP:
Add a teaspoon of baking soda to the sauce before the end of cooking. This not only makes it smoother, but also significantly creamier.
Whether a solid dip or creamy sauce, both have their own personal touch – Prime Recipes
Ingredients
For 4 servings
For the Chili Cheese Dip
6 slices of Chester sandwich cheese
300 ml milk
40 g butter
2 tsp flour
75 g jalapeños (from a jar)
1 tsp smoked paprika powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp chipotle powder
Preparation in 5 steps
First, use a knife to cut the cheese into strips about the width of your thumb. Next, finely dice the jalapeños.
Prepare the stovetop by heating it with a pan and a little butter. After adding the flour, fry it gently, stirring constantly.
Gradually add milk while stirring constantly. Let it boil for about a minute, stirring continuously, until it reaches a thick consistency.
Add cheese strips to the sauce. Stir continuously to ensure the cheese melts evenly in the pot and prevents it from sticking to the bottom. Continue stirring until a smooth consistency is achieved.
Add the jalapeño cubes and seasonings. Bring to a boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Finally, ladle the sauce into small bowls and serve warm.
