Horseradish Cheddar Dip

Running out uses for your cheddar cheese?? Here is a recipe I just came up with over the weekend.

Horseradish Cheddar Dip

1lb Grassfields Organic Cheddar crumbled (room temp)
1/2t garlic powder
1t worchestershire sauce
2-8 dashes of Tabasco (depends on your spice tolerance)
prepared horseradish (use as much or little as you want*)
2T milk
 
1. Combine all ingredients in electric mixer
2. Mix on medium speed until smooth. Add more milk if it seems very stiff.
3. Cover and refrigerate overnigh
4. Serve with bagel chips, crackers, pita chips or pretzels

*Note: I love horseradish and used 3/4 of a small jar. It had just enough flavor to satisfy my horseradish craving.
