Instructions
Step one
In a medium bowl, toss the shredded cheddar and smoked Gouda with the cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.
Step two
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the evaporated milk to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and whisk in the cheese mixture a handful at a time, stirring until smooth and fully melted.

Step five
Place the cooked patties on toasted slider buns and top with warm green chili queso, guacamole, and crispy onion straws. Serve immediately.
