In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
2️⃣ Add the Milk
Pour in the milk and heat gently. Do not let it boil.

Add the cubed white American cheese slowly while stirring constantly.
Keep the heat low so the cheese melts smoothly.

5️⃣ Simmer Gently
Continue stirring for 2–3 minutes until the dip becomes smooth and creamy.

7️⃣ Serve
Pour into a bowl and serve warm with:
- tortilla chips
- nachos
- tacos
