- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, and unsalted butter.
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture until creamy and well-combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure an even texture.
Add the garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce, and mix thoroughly until the flavors are evenly distributed.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. For a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or bowl. Smooth the surface with a spatula, and optionally sprinkle with paprika and fresh chopped chives for garnish.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the spread with crackers, fresh bread, or vegetable sticks. Enjoy!
