• Half and half: 1 cup
  
  
• White american cheese: 3/4 lb, shredded or cubed
• Fontina cheese: 1/2 lb, shredded or cubed
  
  
• Canned jalapenos: 2 tbsp (can subsitute for canned green chiles), diced

• Nutmeg: 1/4 - 1/2 tsp (see notes)
• Red pepper flakes: 1 tsp
• Salt: 1/4 tsp
• Pepper: 1/4 tsp

• Add nutmeg slowly and stir/taste as you go - the upper bound is quite a bit. It's good but may be too much for some people
• Can substitute mozzarella for fontina
• Can make in instant pot or slow cooker and leave on to keep warm, or make in skillet and broil for 3-4 minutes before serving
• Serve with chips, warm soft pretzels, veggies, etc.
