Homemade Spicy Cheese Dipping Sauce
Cheese Please! Everyone needs a good cheese dipping sauce so allow me to share mine. This is my go-to spicy cheese sauce for chips, fries, veggies, pretzels or…anything! The key to this scrumptious dip is using the right cheese. I always use Hiland Dairy Aged Sharp Cheddar Cheese and it comes out creamy and perfect every time. It’s great at home, on the go, or even at a family picnic. You can’t go wrong with this one!
