WHITE MEXICAN CHEESE DIP

Just how much white mexican dip can you eat at one time. One bowl, or two. It is so good that you scrape the bowl with your finger and lick it off to just get that last bite.
Now if you live close to a Sam's Club I have bought mine there in a big container for around $8.00 and it tastes just like the one you get in the restaurants. But not everyone belongs to Sam's or may not be near one so here is a recipe that works almost as good as the store bought kind.
 You may need to adjust the peppers if you like it mild or hot and with this dip it always goes back to being thick. Just take you a couple spoons full out and put in a bowl and heat in microwave or can use the whole bowl if you are like me. lol. Just don't be on a diet.
You can cut this recipe down as the cheese is sort of expensive to buy. You find it in the deli section of most stores and make sure not to use white cheddar as it will not melt good .If buying from the deli just don't let them slice it into slices but buy it in a block. The cheese sells for around $5.00 a lb. But this make a large amount. The peppers are around $.90 a can.

11/4 Lb.Block White American Cheese(Land Of Lakes Only). cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 Cup Canned Greeen Chiles, diced, more or less
2 Pickled Jalapenos, (canned) chopped, more or less
1 oz. Pickled Jalapenos Juice, more or less
2/3 Cup Whole Milk or Heavy Whipping Cream
1/2 Cup Cold Water
Pinch of Cumin (optional)

Cut the cheese up in chunks and put in a microwave safe bowl. Add the rest of the ings. and stir good. Put in the microwave on hig for 5 minutes , stopping to stir after every minute.I would use a medium bowl as it may run over the top. It might look watery but keep stirring and it will come together. It will be runny. This makes a soup bowl full. After it sits for a while it will thicken up. So if you do not want to use all of it ,then get out around 2 spoons full and put in the microwave and stir after 30 seconds and it will get runny again. I would start out by not adding to much of the peppers to it at first.
If you want to add the cumin, I would get some out of the bowl and then stir some cumin in a small amount to see if you like the taste of it.You can add more after you taste it but don't burn your mouth. Make sure it is kept ref.
 If you want to keep it warm in the crockpot then wait just before serving it before making it. Serve with tortilla chips or can be poured over vegs.
