Step 1: Warm the Milk
In a medium saucepan, gently warm the evaporated milk over low heat. Do not let it boil. Just get it warm enough to steam a little.

Gradually add the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses to the warm milk, stirring constantly with a whisk. Continue stirring until all the cheese has melted and the dip is completely smooth. Stir in garlic powder and a pinch of cayenne if you like.
Step 3: Serve Hot
Once smooth and heated through, remove the dip from the heat. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, sturdy crackers, or pour it over nachos.
