My mom used to make this every Saturday night when we watched movies. I love eating it with the round, yellow chips. I let 'em soak until they get soggy.
Equipment
- Microwave oven
- Casserole dish with lid
- Knife - for chopping
- Hand blender* or a potato masher
*(fancy-schmancy, I know. But another indispensible kitchen tool. I have a Bamix, another Calgary Stampede purchase. It does make whipped cream from skim milk - which I guess would be whipped milk?! Here it is at Amazon.)
Ingredients
Block of cheddar cheese - no American cheese, it's is NOT REAL cheese, people!!
- Half as much cream cheese as cheddar cheese
- Milk
- Salsa
- Worcestershire sauce
- Hot sauce to taste (optional)
- 1/2 a white onion (optional)
Directions
- Everything goes into the casserole dish.
- Shred or chop cheddar. You are welcome to use the pre-shredded stuff.
- Chop cream cheese into bits - 1/2" big or so.
- Chop onion.
- Add equal parts milk and salsa and a healthy dash of Worcestershire. The liquid should come up half as far as the cheese in the dish. P
- ut the lid on and nuke for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese melts about half way.
- Stir. You can use the blender or potato masher at this point.
- And repeat until hot and creamy.
- Careful - the dish will be hot when you take it out!
- Taste and add hot sauce to desired heat. Also add more milk/salsa if it is too thick.
- Serve with whatever you like to dip in nacho dip. Or pour over stuff.
- This will keep in the fridge for about 5 days. Add liquid when reheating as it will thicken up.
