Quick and Easy Cheese Dip

Not long ago, we had hamburgers for dinner, and Brad wanted the shoe string french fries.  I am not a huge fan of those, so I decided to come up with another side for me.  We had some chips laying around, so I googled until I found an easy cheese dip recipe.  I actually cut this recipe in half, and it was still too much.  Mine wasn't as runny as theirs, but that was ok.  Check out how I made it below!

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon of butter
• 1 tablespoon of flour
• 1/2 a cup of milk (I used 2%)
• A few handfuls of shredded cheese (about a cup or so)
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder

Instructions

1. Mix the butter and flour in a pot.  Heat and whisk until bubbly

2. Whisk the milk into the flour/butter mixture and bring to a simmer.  Make sure it is thick enough to coat a spoon or whisk

3. Remove the pot from the heat and mix in the cheese with a spoon until smooth and melted

4. Add the salt and chili power and mix.  Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary

5. Serve!
