You can make this and serve in frosted mugs with a long handled ice tea spoon or in a large chilled bowl with “Tostitos Scoops” on the side for appetizer size servings.
Be careful in adding the jalapeno, Tabasco’s and Cajun sauces and spices as it is pretty hot…you might want to just add half the amount called for and then adjust to your personal preference.
My original recipe also called for adding Tequila…since I serve this and children might eat it, I don’t add the tequila.

A recipe from back in the 1970’s. Still a favorite of my family.
Serve with crackers or chips.

This just doesn’t sound good at all, but it is great!! People can’t stop eating it.
Serve with nice wheat or “town house” type crackers.
You can find the dried beef where canned tuna and canned chicken is in the supermarket. It only comes in one size, I think 6 oz.

This is unbelievably good and impressive and so easy. You can do a little ahead…make the block of cheese then wrap in saran and place back in fridge. Don’t make too early or the dough won’t rise very nicely…then bake almost last minute, you want it still pretty warm to serve.
Serve with a knife for cutting and fancy crackers. Sliced, crisp apples also go very well with this.

Pretty Pink!
Serve with crackers.

“Antique” Recipe!
A spread for finger sandwiches, stuffed celery, crackers.

These are really good and add a little something different to your appetizer table or Mexican buffet. They can be used as a light dessert if desired, arranging a few chips and a dollop of dip on a small plate.
I have a convection oven so I can do several cookie sheets at a time. Allow the chips to cool on the cookie sheet and when cool place in zip lock bags.
These can be made a day or two ahead.

We discussed this could use a little salt…maybe use regular salted roasted peanuts instead of honey roasted peanuts, or even salted mixed nuts…maybe add extra salt to the popcorn.
Store in air tight tin.

This recipe dates back to my days in home ec class in high school in the 1960’s…it is still one of my favorites and goes over well at parties.
Slice into circles to serve with crackers.
(*I prefer very finely grated onion.)
This will keep for a couple weeks so use one for the Holidays and one for New Years!

Not a real pizza…but sure looks like one!
This is a very impressive appetizer, always receives comments and compliments. Be sure to arrange on a nice platter for even more oohhs’ and ahhhs!
I serve with nice gourmet style wheat crackers.
You make this in 4 different layers, see ingredient list for layers.
