Gee Whiz Spread image

This spread is an amazing, versatile, whole food that is remarkably fast and simple to prepare. It's great on crackers and sandwiches or in almost any recipe that calls for dairy cheddar cheese. Spread it on buns for cheez burgers, or add a few spoonfuls to your favorite soup or sauce to turn them into cheezy delights. Adapted from The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook by Jo Stepaniak.
