I got this recipe from a home economics instructor when I was teaching in Oklahoma. I think it represents the Southwest because of its spicy flavor. It can be used as an appetizer before a Mexican meal or served as a snack. Ingredients:
16 ounces (4 cups) shredded cheddar cheese |
1 cup butter, softened |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon black or cayenne pepper |
8 ounces pork sausage, cooked and drained |
Directions:
1. In large bowl, beat the cheese, butter, flour, salt and pepper on medium-low speed. Stir in cooked sausage. Form dough into 1-in. balls; place on ungreased baking sheet.
2. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until light golden brown. Serve warm or cold. Store in refrigerator or freezer. Yield: about 5-1/2 dozen appetizers.
