Hi all,

Been slow here so in my continuing effort to disrupt all New Year's resolutions I present the following.  Great for Super Bowl -

Kielbasa dipped into beer cheese

Yield 4 servings (yeah, right)

2              cups       sharp cheddar cheese   grated

1                              jalapeno                              chopped

1                              scallion                                 chopped

1/4         tsp          kosher salt

1/4         tsp          pepper                                 fresh ground

3/4         cup         amber beer

1              pound   kielbasa (6 links)               cut into 4 to 5 pieces

In food processor, add cheese, jalapeno, scallions, salt and pepper.  Pulse until scallions and jalapeno have been blended in with cheese, about 30 to 45 seconds.  Then, run the food processor fully, slowly pouring the beer through the feeder tube, blending until mixture is creamy, about 45 seconds to 1 minute.  Remove from food processor, transferring mixture into a container.  Refrigerate for a couple hours for flavors to meld together.

To make for tailgating, store beer cheese in a small crockpot, keeping liquid warm.  Prepare the grill to high heat.  Halve each kielbasa, and grill, turning just as needed and cook until kielbasa is fully grilled.  Remove from grill, and cut kielbasa into small pieces.  Serve with toothpicks, and let guests dip kielbasa pieces into the warmed beer cheese.

Enjoy,

Jim
