SLICED MEAT ROLL-UPS - Any of our flavors of cheeseballs can be spread onto slices of ham or salami and rolled up. Stick a toothpick through an olive and through the rolled up meat. You could also add pimento to your mix when doing this.
Here are some cheeseball ideas:
Roasted Bell Pepper - Dice real, fresh bell peppers and mix with the cream cheese and dip mix. Roll in crushed nuts, bacon bits, sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.
Cucumber Dill - Dice real cucumber and mix with cream cheese and dip mix. Cut out the seeds and only keep the solid cucumber when doing this, otherwise the cheeseball will be too wet and won't hold together as well. Roll ball in sunflower seeds.
Mesquite - A Mesquite cheeseball is a very unusual flavor, but a delicious one. Mix small diced pieces of beef jerky or dried beef into your mixture. You could also roll it in bacon bits.
TIP: Pimento is a nice addition to many of these cheeseball recipes.
USE AS A DRY RUB: Rub, mix or toss up to 1 package with your preferred meat prior to grilling. You can also use Dixie Fixins Gourmet Dip Mixes as seasonings for veggies, fish, pork, vegetables or chicken!
ALL PURPOSE SEASONINGS Use the mixture to add some zest to many foods such as meats, oven roasted potatoes and vegetables. Sprinkle on liberally.
SALAD DRESSINGS All of our dip mixes make wonderful salad dressings. Just make the usual dip mix with one cup of sour cream and one cup of real mayonnaise. Thin the mixture with one tablespoon of milk or cream to desired consistency. Remember, these are unique flavors, some of which you can't find anywhere else.
