Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (grated) Sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Evaporated milk
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 1 teaspoon (optional, for a spicy kick) Hot sauce
Instructions
Set the cream cheese and butter out at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the grated cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and butter. Stir constantly until melted and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
Gradually add the evaporated milk, stirring continuously, until the mixture reaches a thick, creamy consistency.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and hot sauce, if using. Mix until evenly incorporated.
Taste the spread and adjust seasonings as needed.
Transfer the cheese spread to a serving bowl and let it cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm as a dip, or refrigerate and serve chilled as a spread. Pair with crackers, pretzels, fresh vegetables, or baguette slices.
