- 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 25 dashes Tabasco
INSTRUCTIONS

Neat variation. I make mind with sharp cheddar, mayo, pimentos (duh), finely diced fresh jalapenos and of course salt & pepper. Makes an amazing grilled cheese sandwich.
My mom used to make this, it was so good especially right after she made it. She used a food mill to grate the cheese, such good memories of her making the heavenly stuff.
FANTASTIC!
