This is as close the real McCoy as you can get. This is a keeper!! I came up with this after much trial and error. Very easy to make and highly addictive! I recommend using good quality fresh prepared horseradish, usually found in the refrigerator section. Instead of Cheese Whiz as listed, I actually used Walmart store brand jarred cheese with EXCELLENT RESULTS!(cheaper too). If you are not a big garlic fan, do not deviate from the amount listed. My first try I used more and it was a bit overpowering, good thing I happen to like garlic. Cook time is chill time.
