Chili Roll

This was a Christmas appetizer favorite that Marion served at Michael Anne’s... a little spicy, but delicious! 

Ingredients:

¾ lb processed cheese

1 3-oz pkg soft cream cheese

2 pods garlic, minced

¼ teaspoon salt

About 1 ½ jar chili powder

¼ tsp onion juice

¼ tsp Worcestershire sauce

1/8 tsp red pepper

¾ cup finely chopped pecans

Directions: 

Have cheeses at room temperature; mash processed cheese and add cream cheese, blending together.

Add all other ingredients, excluding chili powder and pecans. 

Mix well and stir in pecans.

Roll mixture into 4-inch rolls, approximately 1 ½” diameter to fit round crackers; roll each in chili powder.

Place in refrigerator or freezer.

When using from freezer, allow 1 ½ hours for thawing.

Slice and serve on round crackers.

Another Christmas favorite was the hat that Patti got in the gift exchange:
