Cheese Dip

Cheese is probably in my top three favorite foods. When you combine salty chips with it, it may be pushing number one.

We had some friends coming over to watch the game we will not discuss (let's just say, no matter what, even if they don't show up for a game, I will remain a loyal Tiger fan) and I had to throw some munchies together real quick. I remembered picking up two cans of Rotel at the grocery the last time they were on sale for buy one get one free so I thought I could quickly throw together a Rotel cheese dip. I forgot though that the official Rotel cheese dip calls for processed cheese which we just don't keep around. After some research, I found recipes I could combine to make a dip. Super easy and really delicious.

Rotel non-processed Cheese Dip

2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp All purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 Cup milk
1 1/4 Cup shredded cheddar (we love the white extra sharp)
1 tsp mustard (used dijon because it is what I had)
salt and pepper to your liking
1 can Rotel (well drained)

Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and salt until well combined. Add milk and mix constantly until thickened. I think it took less than 5 minutes to thicken. Add cheddar and mustard stirring until cheese is completely melted. Add Rotel and mix until heated through. At this point you can serve it immediately or transfer to a small crock pot to keep warm. In my opinion, the crock pot is the way to go and serve it with salty chips of your liking, aka Tostitos (stock up when it's buy one get one free).

Add this to your next at home tailgating event.

Since I'm a loyal fan, Go Tigers!
