CREAM AND CHEDDAR CHEESE BALL
Very tasty, and quick to prepare, with a minimum of ingredients. McLaren's Imperial Cheese (red container, black lid) is I believe a Canadian product from the Kraft family. It's described as a "Sharp Cold Pack Cheddar". If this particular brand is not available to you, I would think any sharp cheddar would work equally as well. Best made the day before serving. Cooking time indicates minimum chilling time.

MACLAREN'S IMPERIAL CHEESE AND MACARONI
I purchased some Maclaren's Imperial Cheese at Costco, which was a super deal, not really knowing what to do with it. I searched the Kraft site for some recipes, but they didn't really have much I wanted to try that was for everyday use. I set out to try my hand at something myself and I hope you like it. My husband, who loves mac 'n cheese, really did.

CANADIAN SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE SPREAD
Attention, cheese lovers! This may be the best cheese spread you've ever had! My friend's mother gave me this recipe over 15 years ago. I always make it around the holidays, or for football and hockey game nights. Everyone begs for this recipe. Turn this into a pub spread by adding a half cup of your favorite dark ale. Use brick cream cheese for a spread, or spreadable cream cheese for a dip. Serve with crispy crackers, toast, or bagels.

Steps:
- 1 COMBINE all ingredients in food processor. Add more beer if needed to achieve spreading consistency. 2 CHILL at least 1 hour to blend flavours.
Tips:
- Using high-quality ingredients will greatly enhance the flavor of your cheese ball. Look for fresh, flavorful cheeses and use real butter instead of margarine.
- Be sure to chill the cheese mixture for at least 30 minutes before forming it into a ball, or better yet overnight. This will help the flavors to meld and the cheese ball to hold its shape better.
- If you're having trouble forming the cheese mixture into a ball, try using a cookie scoop or an ice cream scoop. This will help you to get evenly sized balls and prevent the cheese from sticking to your hands.
- You can coat your cheese ball in a variety of different toppings, such as chopped nuts, herbs, or bread crumbs. Get creative and experiment with different flavors to find your favorite combination.
- Serve your cheese ball with crackers, bread, or vegetables. It's also great as a dip for fruit.
