Grate the Monterey Jack pepper cheese while keeping an eye on the bubbling mixture.

-
Incorporate the cream cheese, Velveeta cheese, green chilies, cayenne, garlic powder, cumin, sugar, and salt into the mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
-
If the cheeses don’t melt completely, return the pan to very low heat and continue stirring until they do.
-
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning according to your preference by adding more spices if desired.

Once satisfied with the flavor, transfer the dip to a serving dish and enjoy it hot with your favorite dippers!
