Here is our recipe of the week for April 8-14, 2008:This is so good spread on crackers, but have you tried it on pita chips? It's fan-tastic.
2 8-oz packages cream cheese
2 c finely shredded smoked cheddar, swiss, or gouda cheese
1/2 c butter
2 Tbs milk
2 tsp steak sauce
1 c finely chopped nuts, toasted (if possible)
Let cheeses and butter stand at room temperature until soft, about 30 minutes. Add milk and steak sauce. Beat until fluffy. Cover and chill 24 hours.
Shape mixture into a ball, roll in nuts. Let stand 15 minutes. Serve with crackers or pita chips.
This is also great softened and spread on bread when making a sandwich.
Try substituting hot sauce (to taste) for steak sauce.
If you want to make this ahead, tightly wrap finished cheese ball in plastic wrap to keep moisture and air out. Freeze up to one month. To serve, thaw in the fridge over night, then let stand 30 minutes at room temperature before serving.
