Attention, cheese lovers! This may be the best cheese spread you've ever had! My friend's mother gave me this recipe over 15 years ago. I always make it around the holidays, or for football and hockey game nights. Everyone begs for this recipe. Turn this into a pub spread by adding a half cup of your favorite dark ale. Use brick cream cheese for a spread, or spreadable cream cheese for a dip. Serve with crispy crackers, toast, or bagels.

- Add some mix-ins: Mix-ins are a great way to add extra flavor and texture to your spread. Some popular mix-ins include bacon, ham, vegetables, and herbs.
- Serve immediately or chill: This spread can be served immediately or chilled. If you're serving it immediately, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving. If you're chilling it, cover it tightly and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours before serving.
