Instructions
Place the cubed cheese, pepper jack, diced tomatoes and milk in a 4-quart crockpot.
Stir in the cumin.
Cover and cook on low for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and the dip looks smooth and glossy with no lumps.
Stir in the cooked meat if using, along with the diced jalapeno.
Keep on warm, stirring every 20 minutes or so; thin with a splash of milk if it starts to thicken.
Serve directly from the crockpot with tortilla chips.
Good to Know
Swap half the processed cheese for shredded sharp cheddar if you want a less processed flavor; just stir more often since it melts less smoothly.
