Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
- 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
- Tortilla chips or fresh vegetables for serving
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, until the mixture is slightly golden and no longer smells raw.
- Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, and cook until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the shredded cheeses, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the dip is smooth. Season with salt to taste.
- Serve the cheese dip warm with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables for dipping.
