"Brown Grammies" (Frances Mower) Lake Arrowhead Cheese Dip...



Frances has made this every Christmas for as long as I have known her and it's soooo yummy! Everyone eats it up quick & there's usually fighting over who gets the bread bowl when the dips gone!!!

You will need:

2 bricks of cream cheese (8 oz each)
1 16oz tub sour cream
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
3-4 tsp. worchestershire sauce
6-8 chopped green onion
1 jar Armour dried beef, cut or torn into pieces

DIRECTIONS:

Melt all of the ingredients together in a large saucepan, slowly over low heat. Constantly stir to avoid burning.

Presentation:

Pour the dip into a hallowed out sheppards bread bowl with torn pieces of the bread all around for dipping. You can also cut up or tear pieces of french bread or sourdough for dipping.

Thanks for posting this delicious dip. It truly is so good. Maybe someone will bring this for an appetizer this Saturday? One can only hope.

The Recipe File

It was impossible to visit with Nana and not get into the recipe file. This is no small file. Tracy, Sydney and I have all at one time or another attempted to typeset the recipes in this file only to be overwhelmed. Since no one person is up to the task of immortalizing this life's work of recipes, it would be great if everyone participates. As you need recipes for different things you can take them and typeset them, or scan them however you would like to do them. Then post them on this site to contribute your part in all this.  Please add a label to your posts so we can eventually go in and organize by category. It was Nana's dream to have a book that would help us all with the various things we will make in our kitchens. She spent a lifetime perfecting her craft and was truly amazing. When we feel we have done her justice, we will organize a book and have copies printed for all of us. I hope as we contribute not only her recipes, but some of our own as well we will remember how much she loved to bring people together over good food. It will be such a tribute to her if we can enjoy this endeavor, enjoy each other and enjoy the memories we all have in our hearts.
