For a smoother spread, use a higher speed in the food processor to achieve a finer texture. Experiment with different types of cheese for a unique flavor profile. Sharp cheddar or pepper jack can add a nice kick. Adjust the amount of ketchup and mustard to suit your taste preferences. This spread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
