Years ago, during the Friday Night Social Club days (and that is a whole 'nother story), I used to do an open house on Christmas Eve. The basic idea was lots of appetizers, lots of adult beverages, and then the guests that were that were still there later on the evening were welcome to stay for a baked ham dinner or a roasted turkey dinner. Quite often there were a good seven to eight people that stayed on in the evening just for dinner.
Here is one of the appetizers that I served...a tried and true recipe:
Here is one of the appetizers that I served...a tried and true recipe:
- 8-oz. pkg. cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup dairy sour cream
- 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 1/2-oz jar dried beef (or your favorite) finely chopped.
- In medium bowl, blend cream cheese, sour cream and horseradish until smooth and creamy. Stir in Parmesan cheese and 1/2 of the dried beef. Chill cheese mixture about 15 minutes for easier handling. Shape cheese mixture into a ball; roll in remaining dried beef. Chill at least 20 minutes or until serving time. Serve with assorted crackers. Makes a 4-inch ball.
