Cheese Sauce/Dip

 Cheese Sauce/Dip 

Creamy pretzel cheese dip that’s made with just 5 ingredients in less than 10 minutes. Spice it up if you prefer some heat. 

1 tbsp butter 

1/2 tbsp cornstarch 

1 cup milk, more if needed 

8 oz velveeta cheese 

1/4 tsp salt 

1/8 tsp pepper

1-3 tsp hot sauce, plus more to taste 

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.  Sprinkle the cornstarch over the butter, stirring constantly and cook for 1 minute. 

Warm the milk in the microwave 15 to 20 seconds. Slowly pour milk into the saucepan, whisking constantly until thickened but still pourable. 

Remove from heat and stir in cheese until smooth. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. 

Stir in salt, pepper and whatever amount of hot sauce you prefer. If the sauce gets too thick, whisk in 1 to 2 tbsp of warmed milk. 

Pour in a mini crockpot to keep warm and gooey. If it thickens, reheat in the microwave 15 seconds. Serve with pretzels, tortilla chips or vegetables.
