Appetizers and Snacks

	3 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese**
	1 8 oz. cream cheese
	1 cup Hellman’s mayonnaise
	6 green onions, chopped
	1 cup chopped pecans

Mix together and roll into a ball as you would any cheese ball. Press down onto rectangle tray - press this out to where it’s about 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Chill for a couple of hours. Pour Rothchild’s Hot Pepper Raspberry Jelly (from Fresh Market) over cheese mixture. Serve with crackers.

** Recipe works better if you grate the cheese yourself rather than the grated cheese in the bag. Other jelly toppings can be substituted.

I first sampled this recipe at a fellowship at our church, Catoma Baptist. The yummy appetizer was prepared by my friend, Cindy Wood. Cindy is famous for her excellent and tasty dishes. Several of our Beaux and Bells friends attended this fellowship and asked for the recipe. This cheese appetizer showed up at our next MASA dance and I am sure will be served at many of our future functions.

	2 cups frozen corn thawed and drained
	1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, room temp.
	1/2 can green chilies, chopped in pieces (4 oz. can)
	1/2 cup shredded cheese

Mix all ingredients well, put into baking dish. Sprinkle with chili powder or chili seasoning mix. Cover and bake at 350° F.

VERY QUICK AND EASY TO MAKE!
