CHEESE SPREAD AKA BOTTOMLESS CHEESE CROCK
I saw this in a very old, old recipe book..the name escapes me. Anyways once this cheese crock is started, you keep it going by blending cheese remnants into it. And if additions keep pace with subtractions, you'll have a cheese spread that lasts almost indefinitely. Store the crock in the refrigerator. Before serving, let cheese soften at room temperature for about an hour.

- Slowly pour in the wine and blend until mixture is a spreadable consistency.

Tips:
- Use a slow cooker with a low setting. This will help to prevent the cheese from curdling or burning.
- Shred the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly.
- Add the cheese gradually. This will help to prevent the cheese from clumping.
- Stir the cheese frequently. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the cheese from sticking to the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Add some liquid to the slow cooker. This will help to prevent the cheese from becoming too thick.
- Season the cheese to taste. You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or other spices to taste.
- Serve the cheese with your favorite dippers. Crackers, bread, vegetables, and fruit are all great options.
