Cheese Dip

 

2 (4 ½ oz.) cans chopped mild green chilies
8 ounces Gouda cheese, coarsely chopped
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup finely shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup milk

  1. Preheat the oven to 400° F.
  2. Combine the green chilies, Gouda, cream cheese, Cheddar and milk.  Easily done in a food processor — process until mixture is blended. If you do not have a food processor, you can still make this dip easily.  Combine shredded cheeses with softened cream cheese and bake as directed.  Baking facilitates blending of the cheeses.   Spoon cheese-chili mixture into an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  3. Bake the cheese dip until  hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
  4. Serve with crackers of your choice, melba toast or with Pita Chips (see recipe below).
