Ingredients
- 8 oz extra sharp cheddar, shredded* $1.77
- 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature $0.60
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise $0.56
- 3 Tbsp sriracha (or to taste) $0.27
- 1 cup diced roasted red peppers $1.00
- 1 green onion $0.11
Instructions
- Add the shredded cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and 1 Tbsp sriracha to a large bowl.
- Finely dice the roasted red peppers and finely chop the green onion. Add both to the bowl with the other ingredients. Use a hand mixer to combine the mixture until the cream cheese is well incorporated (the mixture will still be lumpy because of the shredded cheese and diced peppers).
- Taste the mixture and add more sriracha to your liking. I added a total of 3 Tbsp sriracha. Keep in mind that the spiciness will increase slightly as the mixture refrigerates.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to eat. The mixture will keep in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.

Notes
- *I highly suggest shredding your own cheese for this instead of buying pre-shredded. The starchy coating on pre-shredded cheese will prevent the cheese from combining properly in the spread.
