CHEEZ ITS SERVING SIZE RECIPES

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the cheese, butter, and salt. Add the flour and mix on low (dough will be pebbly). Slowly add the water and mix as the dough forms a ball.
• Pat the dough into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for an hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide the dough into two pieces and roll each into a very thin (1/8 inch or less) 10x12 inch rectangle. Using a fluted pastry cutter, cut the rectangles into 1-inch squares, then transfer them to the baking sheets.
• Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until puffed and browning at the edges. Watch carefully, as the high fat content of the crackers makes a fine line between golden delicious and burnt. Immediately move the crackers to racks to cool.

Steps:

• "Mix first eight ingredients together. Pour in greased 13x9 casserole dish. Slice butter and dot over top of casserole. Cover completely with cheez-its. Sprinkle almonds over top. Bake at 350 degrees until bubbly (30-40 minutes). Casserole (minus the butter, crackers, almonds) can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen. When ready to serve add last three ingredients and bake. Note: Jan doubled the veggies and soup to make a larger batch. - Recipe is from Janet Taylor (Jan Hahn's friend). We had it for the first time at Thanksgiving 2011 and it was a hit."
