Garlic Butter

We love garlic bread as a side to the many Italian dishes we enjoy every month. Taste of Home recently had a tip that has proven to be a time saver for us.

Soften one medium container of "tub butter" such as Country Crock, (or at my house, the Walmart version of Country Crock). I usually transfer it to a mixing bowl so it is not quite so messy to work with.
With an electric mixer, mix in a tablespoon of garlic powder and a tablespoon of parsley, or other spices if you desire. Be sure to adjust it to your taste--we like it really garlicky, or the size of your container.

Store in the refrigerator and use for garlic bread, grilled cheese sandwiches....
