This cheese spread recipe first came to me as a gift. Not the recipe – the cheese spread. It was Christmastime and I was working as a high school guidance counselor.

One of the parents gave me a batch of this delicious spread in a pretty container as a holiday gift. She told me that she had to make huge quantities in her household as the family would devour it so quickly. With a laugh, she said that they’d just walk by the refrigerator with spoon in hand and dig in. Forget the crackers!
Well, soon as I tried it I was on the phone asking her for the recipe. It is amazingly simple to make and its popularity is proven. I would triple this recipe if I were you!
Cheese Spread Recipe
Ingredients
8 oz. colby jack cheese – shredded
8 oz cheddar cheese – shredded
1 dash Red Hot Sauce
1/2 T. onion powder*
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. prepared mustard
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 1/3 cups real mayonnaise
Tip: you can substitute dry onion flakes for onion powder, if you prefer.
Directions
Combine all ingredients except for the cheese first.
Mix well with a spoon.
Add cheese and mix thoroughly.
Scoop into a covered container and refrigerate.
Tip: the flavor enhances over time. If you can keep everyone away for 12 hours or more, it will taste even better but good luck with that! LOL
Note: for those who are on a low-carb diet, this is perfect for you! Less than 1 carbohydrate per serving. How much is a serving? Your guess is good as mine. LOL Just watch the carbs in whatever you choose to put it on!

Looks delicious. I’m pinning it.
Thanks!
Looks yummy! Need to give this a try. Similar to Pimento Cheese in the South that is eaten as a sandwich spread. I bet this would be yummy on the WWBB everyone is talking about from the new cookbook. Thank you for sharing!
I think you’re right!
