WHITE CHEESE DIP

1 small onion, chopped fine

3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cans (10-oz each) diced tomatoes & green chilies
1 can (4 1/2-oz) chopped green chilies
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 lbs white American cheese, sliced
1 cup milk

Place the onion in a medium-size microwave-safe mixing bowl; cover with plastic wrap loosely and microwave on high for 2 minutes.  Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, green chilies, and oregano.

Tear the cheese slices into smaller pieces and place in a 4-quart slow cooker or crockpot.  Pour the milk over the cheese. Add the onion mixture.  Cover and cook on low setting for 2 hours.  Stir gently to blend the ingredients before serving.  Serve with tortilla chips.
