About the recipe
Use this cheesy spread on just about anything for a decadent, peppery kick, or eat it straight from the bowl — it's that good. When blending the ingredients, do not use the puree function, as the peppers will break down too much and the mixture may come out too soupy.
We like to use Texas Pete hot sauce in this recipe as well as Duke's Mayonnaise.
