And I’m not talking about family.

This is later (more than a year) than I wanted to post but things just get away from me.

Satan’s cheese ball
This was named by a coworker. He said Satan must have designed it to addict the world.
1 box of cream cheese
1/2 stick of butter
2 cups grated sharpcheddar cheese
1 tbsp horseradish (not the creamed stuff the actual straight stuff don’t worry you won’t even recognize it)
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup chopped chives
2 cloves of garlic grated
Juice from 1 Lemon
1 tbls of your favorite hot sauce (Mo’ Hotter=Mo’ Better)
2/3 cup of Krab (yes crab with a ‘K’)

THE DIP (this was possibly the very first thing I learned to make)
Props to Ma Cobb for this one.
1 package of cream cheese
1 package of cottage cheese
One cup of Parmesan cheese (I learned with the Green can) I have tried it with the good stuff and it doesn’t make much of a difference.
1 cup of chopped olives
1/2 cup chopped Jalapeno peppers.

Nuke the whole mess stirring every once in a while. Heat until everything is hot and melted. Best with Corn Chips.

Green Chile dip
1 cup sour cream
1 cup Mayo (no not Miracle Whip)
2 cans of Hatch chopped green chilies (I like hot)
1/4 cup chopped green onion
2 cloves garlic grated
juice and zest from 1 lime
1/4 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes.
Mix it all up and let set overnight.

Real French Onion Dip
2 medium Onions diced
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 cup sour cream
1 cup Mayo (no not Miracle Whip, that is of the Devil)
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley

Over medium heat add onions, garlic, salt and pepper to a pan with a little oil in it. Cook together until brown and caramelized 15-20 minutes. Let cool and add to the Mayo/Sour Cream and mix with the parsley and Worcestershire sauce.

Con Queso
This is fairly common, I do a couple a things that make it a little different, better I think.
1 lb Velveeta (hey I’m a redneck at heart)
1 can of Hatch diced hot green chillies
1 can (10 oz each) RoTel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, undrained
1 medium onion diced
3 cloves of garlic

Dice onion and put over med heat add salt and pepper cook until the onions look burned, (OK not black but a medium brown) this is a key step, mince garlic and add to the onions cook a little longer 2 or 3 minutes, you need to be stirring constantly at this point so that nothing actually burns. Add tomatoes and green chilies with the liquid. Cook off all of the liquid. It should be as dry as possible, also a very key step. Add the cheese and melt together. once again corn chips are your best friend.

And I have not tried this but how could it be bad.
