Cheddar Cheese Dip (Better Than Store-Bought!)
My cheddar cheese dip is made from scratch with wholesome ingredients, making it so much better than store-bought! We love dipping tortilla chips and soft pretzels into it or drizzling the cheese over tacos and nachos. It's easy to whip up in only 8 minutes and has so many uses. I hope this recipe replaces pre-made cheese dip in your home like it has in ours!
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp salted butter
- 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup milk (I like to use whole milk)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup shredded milk cheddar cheese (shredded at home is best)
- 1/2 tsp distilled white vinegar (I like to use organic)
Instructions
- Melt butter over medium in a small saucepan.
- Turn heat down to low and add flour, whisking for 1 minute.
- Add milk and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Turn up heat to medium and add shredded cheese. Whisk until melted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in vinegar to balance the flavors, take off heat, and enjoy! As the cheese sauce cools it will thicken.
