Cheese is a great crowd pleaser. No matter who the people are who are gathered around my kitchen table, I can always cube some cheddar cheese, stick a toothpick them, and it’s gone in an instant. For this blog, I’m focusing on cheese! When you’ve got a group forming outside of your RV on one of these fantastic spring nights, you certainly can’t go wrong with one of these cheese dishes.
Nana’s Chili Con Queso
1 – 1 lb carton of Velveeta cheese (cubed)
1 – 10 oz. can tomatoes with green chiles (I use Rotel), drained
2 – green onions, chopped
Melt the cheese in the top of a double boiler, or in a slow cooker on low. Place in a serving dish. Sprinkle the chopped onions on to, serve with Fritos corn chips or tortilla chips.
Breezy Cheese Ball
2 – 5 oz jars of old English sharp cheese – softened
2 – 3 oz packages of cream cheese – softened
1 – cup of finely chopped nuts
Combine cheese and cream cheese in mixing bowl and beat well. Shape into a ball and chill for 4-6 hours. Roll cheese ball in chopped nuts. Wrap in plastic wrap until time to serve. Serve with crackers, chips or bread.
Beef-Cheese Ball
1- 8 oz package of cream cheese, softened
1 – bunch of green onions, finely chopped
2 – jars of dried beef, chopped finely
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Shape into a ball. Refrigerate. Serve with crackers, chips or bread.
Sausage Cheese Balls
1 – 8 oz jar of Cheez Whiz
1 – lb of sausage
1.5 – cups of flour
Mix all ingredients together. Shape into small balls and bake at 350 – 375 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. If you like a little kick, try hot sausage or Mexican Cheez Whiz.
As you can tell, I enjoy making cheese balls for my group when we go RVing. What are some of your favorite entertaining dishes that use cheese?
