Ingredients for Bar Cheese

  • Velveeta Cheese
  • Mayonnaise
  • Horseradish
  • Tabasco Sauce
  • Worcestershire Sauce

How to Make Bar Cheese

  1. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt 32 ounces (2 pounds) of velveeta cheese.
  2. Add 1 cup of prepared horseradish and stir until fully incorporated.
  3. Continue heating on low for 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even melting.
  4. Stir in 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, and 1-2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce (adjust to your spice preference).
  5. Mix well and heat for another 10 minutes, stirring often.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before pouring into 4-5 small containers.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
  8. Serve chilled with your favorite crackers, vegetables, or bread!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
