Have you ever been making pretzels at home and wanted a nice cheese sauce to dip your pretzels into? After all, you've gone to the all the work of making tasty pretzels, and you want to enjoy them to the fullest! This cheese sauce is very quick and easy to make, and is yummy as well; it will taste great with both homemade and store-bought pretzels, but I've only used it with homemade pretzels.
This sauce has a distinct cheese flavor, but the chili powder gives it a nice edge. The sauce also thickens pretty quickly as it cools, so make sure to use it right after making it.
Tear the cheese slices into quarters and put them into a pan with the milk, salt, and chili powder.
Put the pot on the stovetop at medium high heat, stirring constantly to ensure nothing burns.
After a minute or two the cheese will melt; combine all the ingredients thoroughly and serve hot.
