    So when it comes to snacking... I must admit that cheese is just high on my list of FAV'S.

    Especially when it comes in the form of this spreadable dipping kind.

    Pur-fect on crackers, veggies, chips or a spoon. You decide!

    And ready in minutes without a lot of effort....

    Which gives you even more of a reason to add this cheese dip to your snacking agenda.

    And yesss snacking is definitely an agenda here at the AFCJ household. 😁

    Plus you'll only need a few ingredients and a cheese grater to make this yummy dip.

    Here's what you'll need for this spreadable Cheese Dip....

    • Sharp Cheddar Cheese
    • Mayo
    • Pickled jalapenos
    • Garlic & Onion powder

    See it's really that SIMPLE....

    And if you're a fan of Pub cheese then this will definitely be your jam.

    Cause this reminds me of that only as an UPGRADED version of it.

    And I was ALWAYS so guilty of gravitating towards the jalapeno pub cheese every time I went shopping.. 

    But no more guys... 

    Since I can easily whip up a homemade version that is 💯 times better.

    What EXACTLY is Pub Cheese?

    It's basically just a soft cheese dip or spread in which cheese is the primary ingredient.

    I've tried many store brand versions of it but none of them come close to the flavor and texture of this homemade spreadable cheese dip.

    Can I make this Jalapeno Cheese Dip ahead?

    Yes.. it's actually better after the flavors have more time to blend. I'd give it a couple hours before serving but you can also serve it right away.

    Just store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

    Best ways to serve this dip....

    1. Gluten Free crackers
    2. Crusty GF baguettes
    3. Tortilla chips
    4. Veggies... such as carrots, celery, radishes
    5. Also great as a sandwich spread

      Love it! Very similar to pimento cheese but with jalapenos to give it a kick.
