Note
For a smoother consistency, ensure the cheese is cut into small cubes to help it melt evenly without clumping.
If you prefer a spicier dip, increase the cayenne pepper to 1 teaspoon or add a dash of hot sauce.
This dip is best served immediately while hot and gooey. It can be kept warm in a slow cooker on the "warm" setting for up to 2 hours; stir occasionally to prevent separation.
While the original ingredient list mentioned vegan tags, processed cheese and chili often contain dairy or meat derivatives. Verify ingredient labels if preparing for strict dietary restrictions.
