SUBSTITUTIONS and additions
Sides for Dipping: Wondering what to dip in your cheese fondue? Regular tortilla chips, lime-flavored chips, cheese puffs, pretzels, and bread are some of my go-to options for what to serve with this dip.
Extra Ingredients: You could also add in other ingredients to this to take it up a notch. I’ve had friends change up this recipe and add things like cream cheese, chili, salsa, corn, jalapeños, or sausage.
HOW TO MAKE THIS CHEESE DIP RECIPE
STEP ONE: Start by cutting the cheese into cubes and place in a microwave-safe bowl.
STEP TWO: Pour in tomatoes and green chilies, leaving in the juices in the chilies.
STEP THREE: Microwave on high in 1 minute intervals until it is melted, stirring in between.
STEP FOUR: Serve warm with any dipping friendly ingredients that you like!
STORAGE
IN THE FRIDGE: You can store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, just pop it in the microwave.
IN THE FREEZER: Leftover dip can also be stored in the freezer for 1 month, although this is at its best when made fresh.
This recipe has other great qualities beyond being easy and delicious. It also doubles or triples if you’re serving a crowd, making it a go-to appetizer no matter where I am taking it or how many I am serving. I also love how versatile it can be, by adding extra ingredients and flavors.
