I make no guarantees that it falls into anyone's diet, but it's usually a crowd favorite. The almonds are optional.

Nieman Marcus Cheese Spread

Ingredients:
3 oz. slivered almonds
8-10 strips crumbled bacon (or a jar of Hormel real bacon bits)
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
6 chopped green onions
1/2 tsp. Worchestershire sauce
1 1/2 c. mayo

Mix all of the above ingredients except for the almonds. Mix almonds in just before serving. Serve with crackers.

Sounds good ,ever try it with plain low fat yogurt?

Hmm, have to try it. Granted when I first saw this thread I was thinking of cheeze whiz or something.

Mind if I add one, too? This is the kind my mom used to make when we'd go on various road trips (usu. to Arkansas) when I was a kid. We call it cheese salad, and it's really great on really fresh white bread. Or hard rolls, espec. those mini bite-sized ones.

And no, it's not low-fat.

: )

1 pound American cheese, shredded
8 to 12 ounces of Miracle Whip salad dressing (you can substitute the low-fat kind)
2 jars of diced pimientos, drained

Stir all these ingredients together. Refrigerate for a couple of hours (this gets better the longer it sits). Spread on bread or rolls and serve! A guaranteed party or road trip hit!

chesse itself is great. one of life's perfect foods and makes other foods better!

actually never tried the low fat yogurt, but it might be worth a shot. a non-fat mayo would probably do the trick as well.

Just bumping this! I have been requested to bring it to yet another Gal get together!
You know those Southern living, pampered chef, ETC.
Not to complain for a night out, !
I must tell you it is the kind of dip you must physically pull away from or lick the bowl clean!

i'm having a party tonight, and i had to come back here to find this recipe.

i figured i'd give it a nudge for anyone looking for a good game day snack tomorrow.
