Lip Smackin' Cheese Ball Recipe

Hello there! Since the holidays are here I thought I'd share a recipe with ya'll. It's simple, yet tasty, and my brother is addicted to it :)

So without further goings on, here is the recipe :)

8 oz. package of cream cheese.
1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar.
1/4 cup minced fresh onions.
2 tablespoons fresh minced, or 1 tablespoon dried parsley.
1/8 teaspoon salt.
1/8 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.
Nuts (optional)

Take all the ingredients, minus the nuts if you choose to use them, and put into a large or medium sized mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer until well combined and even textured. Then either form it into a ball and roll in nuts, or put into a small-medium container. This recipe makes about 1.5 lbs. of cheeseball. Spread on crackers and enjoy :) Needs to be refrigerated when not being consumed.

I would have uploaded a picture of how it turns out, but my brother consumed most of it!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Carmelized Onions

4 onions, sliced with the rings separated (like onion rings).

3 tablespoons brown sugar.

1/2 cup beef broth.

1 tablespoon vinegar.

Okay, so cut up the onions and put them in a frying pan on medium heat. Add the Brown sugar. And then stir constantly until onions are tender. About 15 min. Then add the vinegar and the broth. Then wait for most of the juice to cook away. There should be about a tablespoon of liquid left. Then serve on top of steak. Or eat them plain. I mean you can eat them plain. They taste good. But that get's old after awhile.

The casserole of doom!

Here is my favorite recipe for casserole!

2 10-oz packages of frozen chopped broccoli or 1 16-oz package.

3 large eggs

1 cup mayonnaise

1 10-oz can of cream of chicken soup (cream of mushroom or cheddar cheese soup also work well)

2 cups dry brown rice, cooked (there's a lot more than 2 cups when cooked! So I meant 2 cups uncooked)

2 cups chopped leftover meat, pork, ham, chicken and turkey work well, (it should be cooked already)

4 tablespoons onion grated, or 1 tablespoon dried

16-oz of sharp cheddar cheese shredded

Salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 10x14x2 inch pan or casserole dish, a 9x13x2 works okay too. Cook the broccoli in water, drain and set aside to cool, (The frozen broccoli you can steam in the microwave is a great alternative). In a large bowl mix the broccoli, meat, cooked rice, cheese, mayonnaise, soup, onion, salt and pepper, and eggs. Then pour into a casserole dish and spread till smooth on top. Bake for 45 minutes. And then take out and eat! Serves 8-10.
