Stuffed Mushrooms

One of the favorite appetizers of all time at the McConnell house. They usually go very quickly, as they should, for they are best eaten warm.

1-2 lbs. medium white mushrooms
1 roll freezer sausage
1 pkg. cream cheese

Wash and de-stem mushrooms. Mince the stems. Brown and drain the sausage. Mix the stems, sausage, and cream cheese. Stuff this mixture into the mushrooms, and line them up on a cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Holiday Cheese Ball

This was a holiday favorite for years at the McConnell house.

8 oz. softened cream cheese
1/2 c. finely grated cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp. chopped green onion
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
pepper
1 small can crushed pineapple, drained

Mix ingredients well, and form into a ball. Refrigerate to harden.

Place 1/2 cup chopped pecans on a large piece of saran wrap. Lay cheese ball on saran wrap, rolling it in the nuts to coat.

Serve with crackers.
