Recipe Summary Canadian Sharp Cheddar Cheese Spread

Attention, cheese lovers! This may be the best cheese spread you've ever had! My friend's mother gave me this recipe over 15 years ago. I always make it around the holidays, or for football and hockey game nights. Everyone begs for this recipe. Turn this into a pub spread by adding a half cup of your favorite dark ale. Use brick cream cheese for a spread, or spreadable cream cheese for a dip. Serve with crispy crackers, toast, or bagels.

Ingredients | Lays Cheddar Cheese Chips

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese

1 (8 ounce) container cold pack aged sharp Cheddar cheese (such as MacLaren's Imperial Sharp Cold Pack Cheddar Cheese product)

¼ cup finely chopped red onion

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

1 dash hot sauce, or to taste

Directions

Place cream cheese and cold pack Cheddar cheese in a microwave-safe bowl; slice cheese into chunks with a knife. Microwave cheese in 30-second intervals on high just until softened, stirring between intervals.

Stir red onion, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, paprika, and hot sauce into cheese mixture with a fork until evenly combined; spoon into an airtight container and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.

Remove cheese spread from refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving.

In Canada, I use MacLaren's Imperial Sharp Cold Pack Cheddar Cheese. It is a very hard dry cheese, not a spread. In the US, it would be something like Black Creek(R) Sharp Cheddar Cold Pack Cheese (do not substitute with Cheez Whiz(R)).

Green onions can be substituted for red onions for a milder taste.

This can be formed into a cheese log or cheese ball for a nice presentation.

Once prepared, cheese spread can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
