Ingredients

  • 15 -16 ounces canned whole tomatoes, drained
  • 16 ounces grated cheddar cheese (Sharp is the best)
  • 16 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup finely minced onion
  • 1 -2 minced garlic clove (powdered garlic will work, 1-2 tsp.)
  • 14-12 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 16 ounces finely chopped pecans (or more)

Method

  • Blend all ingredients except pecans.
  • Roll into 4 logs on wax paper and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Roll in pecans.
  • Keep refrigerated.
  • I found that if I froze it solid, I had to thaw it slightly to get the pecans to stick.
  • I also was able to freeze them again after I rolled them in the pecans.
  • Wrap in wax paper or plastic wrap to freeze.
