Step 2

Combine remaining cornstarch with the cheeses. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large saucepan, rub the sides with the cut side of the garlic. Discard the garlic cloves.

Step 6

Reduce heat to medium-low.  Add a handful of the cheese mixture to the saucepan. Stir constantly, using the figure-eight hand motion until the cheese is almost melted completely.

Once the cheese mixture has all been added, stir in the garlic powder, oregano, Worcestershire sauce and pepper sauce.  Stir in cornstarch mixture gradually to the pan.

Step 9

Stir and cook until mixture is smooth and thickened.
