I first had this at a New Year's Eve party about 25-30 years ago, go the recipe, and have been fixing it ever since. It tastes great! Prep time does not include time for the rolls to chill. Ingredients:
2 lbs velveeta cheese or 2 lbs other process american cheese, at room temperature |
1 lb cream cheese, at room temperature |
2 -3 cloves garlic, finely minced,to taste |
3/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts |
chili powder, as needed for coating |
1 whole red chile, cut into strips,for decoration |
assorted cracker, as accompaniment |
melba toast, as accompaniment |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together cheeses and garlic.
2. An electric mixer can be used.
3. DO NOT USE A BLENDER.
4. Mix in chopped nuts.
5. Form into 2 or 3 rolls on plastic wrap, and use to help form the rolls.
6. Chill until firm.
7. Unwrap rolls, sprinkle all over with chili powder and chill for at least a couple hours to allow flavor to develop.
8. Garnish with chili strips in a star-pattern.
9. Serve chilled or at room temperature with assorted crackers.
10. Note: If fixing for home consumption, don't bother with forming into rolls and decorating.
11. Just mix everything together, including a generous amount of chili powder, and store in refrigerator in a covered container.
