Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- If you like it spicy, leave some seeds in the jalapeno or use a serrano chili instead.
- A non-stick skillet or saucepan will let the cheese melt without sticking or burning.
- Keep the heat low and stir in the milk as you go until it is all blended.
- I love serving this in a hot (not scalding hot) cast iron skillet because the cast iron pan will keep it warm for 20 minutes or more!
