I went to a family get-together at the in-laws the other night, and I made a
cheese spread/dip to take. I got the recipe from a friend who makes it when
we watch ballgames at their house. The recipe as originally written is not
hot, but good, simple and easy to spice it up.

Beer Cheese (don't it already sound good)

8 ounces cream cheese
1 clove of garlic
1 tablespoon worchershire sauce
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (see what I mean)
1/4 to 1/2 cup of beer

Put it all in a blender and blend until creamy and well mixed. Use to spread
on crackers.

I tried mine in a blender and it didn't work too well ( I think mine is
about worn out from grinding all those peppers). Next time I will try the
food processor. I used more pepper and also more beer (for the cheese and
me). I got the cheese too runny, so it was more like a dip instead of a
spread, but still good. Saundra
