Start by shredding or cubing your cheese blend—cheddar, mozzarella, and cream cheese—ensuring even melting later.

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the shredded cheese, cream cheese, and heavy cream. Stir continuously for about 5-7 minutes.

Once the cheese is melted and creamy, sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder. Stir well for an additional 2-3 minutes.

For extra flavor, fold in any optional ingredients you’d like, such as chopped jalapeños or crispy cooked bacon.

Once everything is combined and heated through, transfer your cheese dip to a serving bowl. Serve it warm.
