Equipment

Ingredients

Creamy Pepper Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon ground mustard
  • 1 1/3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
  • 1 cup Kraft mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon monosodium glutamate

Toast Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon softened butter
  • 8 slices thick-cut Texas toast
  • Burger Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped white onions
  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 pound ground beef chuck

Instructions

Step 1: Combine Base Ingredients

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, and vinegar. This mixture serves as the creamy base for the spread. Make sure everything is blended smoothly.

Step 2: Add Flavors

  • Next, it’s time to add in the flavor! Toss in the chipotle peppers, cracked black pepper, and white pepper powder. These ingredients will amplify the taste while adding a delightful personality to your spread.

Step 3: Season It Up

  • Stir in the sea salt, onion powder, garlic powder, parsley flakes, and monosodium glutamate. Each ingredient plays a key role in creating a balanced flavor profile. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined and the color is uniform.

Step 4: Let It Chill

  • Once your spread is prepared, cover it with plastic wrap or transfer it to a resealable container. Allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This resting period lets the flavors meld together beautifully, enhancing the taste.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  • Finally, it’s showtime! Serve the Whataburger cheese spread with your chosen dips or spreads. Enjoy it over burgers, fries, or simply by the spoonful!

Notes

  • Fresh Ingredients Matter: Always use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Adjust to Taste: Don’t be afraid to add more spices to meet your preferences.
  • Let It Age: The longer you let the spread sit, the more pronounced the flavors will become.
  • Consistency Check: If it’s too thick, whisk in a little milk to adjust the texture.
  • Store Properly: Use an airtight container to ensure freshness.
