Notes
- Be sure to use the white American cheese from the deli section. Ask for a large chunk and then cube it yourself.
- Do not use the hard block or shredded bag cheese you find in the diary section.
- Evaporated milk is the best milk to use but if you don't have it, use whole milk, or half and half.
- In addition to the cumin, stir in some onion powder, garlic powder.
- A splash of heavy cream in it when you reheat it can make it even creamier.
