Lettuce
Diced Tomatoes

Ingredients
 
1 pound White American Cheese ( I find at the deli counter and have slice)
1 can of Sliced Jalapenos
1/2 cup of milk
1/8 cup of water
 
Directions
Place cheese, water and milk in saucepan. Turn on low to medium. Dump the liquid from small can of jalepenos into pan. Dice up 3 slices (or a few more if you want spicier) and add to pan.
