(This will serve a lot)
Cheese Ball
2 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened to room temp. 8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated 1 Tbsp
onion, minced 1 Tbsp pimento, minced and drained 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. garlic, minced dash of salt Cayenne pepper to taste Chopped pecans or chopped parsley
Mix all ingredients (except the nuts or parsley) well and form into a ball. Roll the ball in the
chopped nuts or parsley, refrigerate for a few hours to let the flavors blend. Serve with crackers.
Zucchini Parmesan Squares
4 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium and 1 small) 1 medium onion, finely chopped
2/2 cup Parmesan cheese (from the can is fine) 2 Tbsp chopped parsley 1 cup Bisquick baking mix
3/2 tsp. nutmeg
4/2 tsp. salt A few dashes of hot red pepper sauce like Tabasco 4 eggs
5/2 cup vegetable oil
Heat oven to 350:. Butter a 9x13" baking pan. Combine all of the ingredients except eggs and oil-
stir in the zucchini and onions. Beat the eggs and oil together and stir into the zucchini mixture.
Pour into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until edges and lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
Cool in pan about 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Can be served warm or at room
temperature. Can also serve spaghetti sauce (from a jar or homemade) along side of the squares.
Makes about 48 These can also be made ahead of time, wrapped well and frozen. Just heat them in the
oven until nice and warm.
Cocktail Meatballs
(I don't really have amounts so, I am guessing, I just mix them and they always come out great.
1 1/2 pounds ground beef about 1/2 of an onion, grated Milk, about 1/4 cup May add more if necessary
Oatmeal, about 1/4 cup
Mix all well and form into medium meatballs. Brown them in a little oil, remove from pan and drain
on paper towels.
Sauce
3 Tbsp soy sauce 3 Tbsp brown sugar 3 Tbsp vinegar either cider or plain
6/2 cup catsup
Mix in a bowl. Place the meatballs in an oven proof dish, pour the sauce over them and bake at
400: for about 1/2 hour. These make a lot and can be doubled, I usually double the sauce. You can
also use ground any type of ground beef from regular to ground round, just whatever the budget
permits. Jan
