Instructions

Step 1

Before you get started, be sure that all of your ingredients are prepped and ready to go because the recipe goes fast.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan or large deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are tender and translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and spices, then cook about 30 seconds more.

Step 3

Add the milk and cream cheese to the pot. Whisk until the cream cheese has melted into the mixture (it should be mostly smooth), about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and start adding the cheese in medium handfuls, whisking after each one. Once the cheese has melted completely into the mixture, add the next handful, and so on until you have added all of the cheese and the sauce is smooth. Serve immediately with chips. Makes 3 cups.
