• Add the rest of ingredients and stir until cheese melts, simmer about 10 minutes.
• Adjust seasoning to taste.
• Serve with a few tortilla chips broken over the top, you could also top with black olives or salsa,.
• Note:.
• I will often buy whole milk for this recipe, but will also mix some half and half into non-fat milk. It would probably be fine with just the lower fat milk, but not as rich.
