I live with a cheddar cheese addict. My son loves the stuff, and we always have a block of it in our refrigerator. And who can blame him? It's salty and tangy, and it melts like a dream as long as you don't overcook it. Needless to say, we eat a lot of quesadillas and grilled cheese sandwiches. But those are getting kind of old, so I'm looking for other ways to use cheddar. Here are eight recipes using cheddar cheese.
