Notes
Cheese: Using a block of cheese that you shred yourself is best for this dip. Store-bought shredded cheese typically has a coating that prevents the cheese from melting smoothly.
Consistency: If the dip seems a bit too thick, just whisk in some extra milk. If it seems a bit too thin, add in a bit more cheese.
