Homemade alternative to artificial cheese spreads (8/10)

This recipe was initially the result of a failed attempt at homemade Nacho Cheese Sauce. As my first experience cooled it began to solidify. After refrigeration the once smooth running nacho sauce had become... a nacho spread! With a little bit of tinkering my effort to make an affordable, all natural homemade nacho sauce resulted in two recipes: Nacho Cheese Sauce and Cheese Spread.

This cheese spread is easy to make and has a solid, smooth flavor. It won't overpower you with a burst of cheesiness, but then again it lacks MSG. It goes great on crackers and our little boy enjoys it as much as the fake stuff. If you want more of a kick try the optional ingredients for a "Spicy Cheese Spread" which is sure to add life to crackers and pretzels.

Easy to make, relatively affordable, and all natural (with real cheese!) make this spread a great snack or appetizer.
