I heard about this recipe from a co-worker who brought it in to work. I tried it for a get together and it was gone quickly. Its so good you just can't walk to far from it without going back to get more. If you love cheese you gotta try this recipe! Yummy!

Excellent taste! I purchase my cheese from a stand at a farmers market. Every year for Christmas he cuts cheddar that has been aged for 25 years. I purchased extra which I also used in this recipe. This receipe is a keeper.

Expected this to be spicier. Very bland. Next time I will add jalopeno peppers to add some zip to it.

I substituted Montery Jack cheese for the white cheddar. Everyone loved this. I made it three times over the holidays.
