PIONEER TAD RECIPES

Steps:

• Lay crackers (as many as you want) face up on a cookie sheet.Scoop about 1 teaspoon of grated Parmesan cheese onto each cracker. Cut your package of bacon in half (or cut pieces individually) and carefully, so the cheese doesn’t fall off, wrap each cheese covered cracker in one half piece of bacon, completely covering the cracker. It should fit snugly around the cracker.Place the bacon wrapped crackers onto a baking sheet that has a rack on it.Place in a 250-degree oven for about 2 hours.

Steps:

• Combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon, adobo, and black pepper in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix it until totally combined (if you have a few lumps from the cream cheese, no problem; you won't see them later!)Add the cheddar and Monterey jack and mix gently until combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the bowl and make sure all the ingredients are mixed together. Stir in the pimentos and dill. Taste and mix in more of whatever you think it needs. Add more cheese if you like the pimento cheese to be less creamy; add less if you like it to be more creamy.Refrigerate pimento cheese for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve with crackers, small hollowed-out peppers, carrot and celery sticks, and olives. (Or make small sandwiches or even a grilled cheese with it!)***Note: For best results, make sure the cheddar and jack cheeses are nice and cold when you mix them in.
