I entertain a lot.  Holidays, football games, cookouts – we always have company.  We also have a lot of unplanned, drop in kind of company.  Either or, I’m always ready to host – I love it!

There are foods I always have on hand for company.  Cheese is on top of the list.  A simple cheese tray is always a hit – and tends to be the first thing to be cleared off the table.

Besides a cheese tray, there are so many other options for quick, throw together hors d’oeuvres & bites to eat with the almighty cheese.

I LOVE and swear by Heluva Good!® Cheese.  Heluva Good! Cheese blocks are always in my fridge – be it for daily snacks for the family or a part of a food spread for company.

I have many, many cheesy recipes I make – but today I’m talking about just one.  Warm Cheddar & Black Pepper Spread.  It’s a simple recipe that focuses on just two flavors – cheddar cheese & black pepper.  No spices, no dash of this or that – no distractions.  This is the real deal here. That being said – you want to use the best cheese – yup –  Heluva Good! Cheese & a freshly ground black pepper.  The combination of the two is unbelievably delicious.

This spread couldn’t be any simpler to make.  It takes only four ingredients and a few minutes to put together.  Shred your cheese, grind in the black pepper and mix in real mayo (none of that sweet stuff) and sour cream.  Throw it in the oven and bake until the top is lightly golden brown.

This stuff will be like molten lava – so resist the temptation to dip right in.  Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.

I serve this with crackers, hard pretzels, soft pretzels, baguette slices, pita slices – heck, I could eat it right off a spoon.  I will also mention that this cheesy concoction is fabulous served over a juicy chicken breast – but that’s for another time.

I always find a big selection of Heluva Good! Cheese at my local Walmart.  They already have great prices – but now you can save even more!  Head over to Ibotta to grab this deal now – limited quantities are available!

    If somebody served this to me, I’d probably just grab a soup spoon and make quick work of it! Definitely saving this one for the next time I need to put snackies out for guests.
