The Best Ways To Get Your Cheddar Fix

We found someone who's never eaten cheddar before. Let's throw recipes at them!

We stumbled across an amazing thing the other day today -- Reddit user WBuffet had never eaten cheddar cheese before. "I just bought cheddar for the first time. I have 0.7 pound. What to do?" WBuffet asked, including, "Cheddar is not a mainstream cheese in Iceland. Gimme ideas!"

Can you imagine? Getting to taste the tangy, sharp, salty stuff for the very first time? Needless to say, we are very excited for WBuffet and wish them the best. But we felt it our personal responsibility to make sure that Wbuffet, and anyone else like this Reddit user, fully grasps the greatness that is cheddar. So, we gathered together the best, most cheese-filled recipes we could find. Recipes that really highlight the bold flavors of cheddar.

Here they are -- for anyone out there who has never been acquainted with all that is great about cheddar cheese and for all of you who long-time fans too.
