Not worth the fat and calories
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I put this down the garbage disposal. The taste wasn't worth the expense, the fat or calories. Lacked flavor.

Great "fake out"
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We have a local pizza restaurant in a college town with fabulous cheese dip and garlic toast. This is the closest thing that... I have tried. I brought in to try out on my co-workers and they thought I got it from the restaurant. Delicious and EASY ! Read more

All-Purpose Cheese Spread
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This really is an all purpose cheese spread. It is easy to make. I now have it memorized. The kids and grown-ups alike... love it. If you take it to a party people think it is something special. It is now on my every party list of things to make. I serve it with a vegtable platter and cracked wheat cracker. But I noticed that some in the crowd used the pita chips. So if you want a great go to appetizer this is it. And by the way, either spreadable cheese is basically the same thing. I have used cheese whiz, velveeta, and I have used another spreadable cheese the was one sale, but my favorite is the jar of cheese whiz (bacon flavored), but it take two of the 5 oz jars. Read more

It's Not Cheese Whiz!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I did not watch the episode that introduced this recipe, but if Paula Deen alluded to the ingredient described as "1... (6-ounce) jar cheese spread" as Cheese Whiz or Velveeta, I had a clearly different read on the recipe. I read it as meaning a *jar* of spreadable cheese, such as Kraft's Old English cheese spread that actually has *cheese* listed as the first ingredient. I made it, everyone liked it, I'll make it again. This is one of those recipes that are great for last minute guests, as you generally have all the ingredients at hand.Read more
