Beer-Cheese Appetizers Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 5 min./batch

Yield: 80 Servings

25 5 30

Ingredients

2 cups biscuit/baking mix
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup beer or nonalcoholic beer
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Sesame and/or poppy seeds
CHEESE SAUCE:
1 package (8 ounces) process cheese (Velveeta), cubed
1/2 cup refried beans
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup salsa

Directions

Combine biscuit mix and cheese in a large bowl. Stir in beer until a soft dough forms. Turn onto a floured surface, knead 5 times. Roll into a 16-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Cut into 2-in. squares; cut each square in half diagonally.
Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Brush with butter; sprinkle with seeds. Bake at 450° for 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
For sauce, combine the remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until cheese is melted. Serve immediately with triangles. Yield: 80 appetizers (1-3/4 cups sauce).

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
