Years ago, my husband invented this gooey cheese dip. I may be biased, but I have to say it's excellent. If you like heat, rev it up with finely chopped jalapenos. —Patricia Leinheiser, Albuquerque, New Mexico

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles
2 tablespoons cornstarch

1. In a saucepan, heat butter over medium-high heat; saute onion and garlic until tender. Add chiles; cook and stir 5 minutes. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and milk until smooth; stir into onion mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes.
