Better Cheddar, Cheese Dip, Recipe, Easy, Tried and True Recipe, Recipes Begged, Borrowed or Stolen

Back in 1997 I was the Chairperson for a cookbook called A Collection of Recipes II. It was a project of the Worcester Country School Parent’s Association. The school is now called Worcester Preparatory School and it is located in Berlin, Maryland.

We asked parents, grandparents, and local restaurants to give us their best recipes. And they did!! It took us many months to get everything compiled and many of us worked hours to bring this book to the community.

I love neighborhood cookbooks. To me these recipes are the center of someone’s kitchen. Recipes used over and over again for holidays, and family gatherings.

At Worcester a lot of the recipes showed up at the Teacher Appreciation Lunches. They are all good and I used this book frequently.

Better Cheddar is a recipe given by one of our grandparents. Mrs. Carol Cairo knew that this recipe, as simple as it was, would be a hit. It had a secret ingredient…..Liquid Smoke.

Serve the Better Cheddar with crackers or dipping pretzels.

Ingredients:

1 pound New York Extra Sharp cheese, crumbled

1 cup walnuts, chopped

6 scallions, chopped

1 cup of mayonnaise (I like Dukes)

1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke (you can put a bit more after tasting)

1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce

To crumble the cheese, first cut it in chunks and then put in a food processor until it crumbles. I have a very small food processor and I made it in a couple of batches. Easy.

The walnuts, you can also put in the food processor of a few seconds or pulse it so they are chopped.

I have yet to have a guest say they don’t like it. You really get hooked.

Hope you love it as much as I do. Great for appetizers!!
