CHILI-CHEESE ROLL-UPS

This is a snack I've made for my son when he wants something a little more filling than crackers or a cookie. It could also be made as a dinner entree served alongside a salad or with some refried beans. It uses roasted garlic which I make earlier in the day (cut a 1/2-inch off the top of a head of garlic, take off loose skins, put it on a piece of heavy duty foil, sprinkle a generous amount of olive oil on top, wrap foil tightly around the head of garlic and cook at 325°F for an hour. Remove, cool, and squeeze out creamy garlic paste from each clove).

CHILI CHEESE ROLL

Categories     Cheese Appetizers

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 c pecans, chopped
1/8 tsp red pepper
1/2 tsp salt
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 lb velveeta cheese, grated
2 Tbsp mexene chili powder

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all ingredients except chili powder.
  • 2. Make into rolls and roll into chili powder.
  • 3. Place rolls into wax paper. Chill.
  • 4. When ready to serve, cut into 1/2 inch slices and serve with favorite round crackers.

Tips:

  • Using a stand mixer with a dough hook makes the dough-making process much easier and quicker.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it well until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Make sure to let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will ensure that the rolls are light and fluffy.
  • When filling the rolls, be sure to leave a little space around the edges so that the filling doesn't spill out when you roll them up.
  • Bake the rolls until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
