Corn Dip & Cheese Ball - Great Appetizer Recipes

I made both of these recipes last night for a party I hosted and they were both a hit! The first recipe (corn dip) came from Sarah and it's just a great, warm dip that is served with Frito's Scoops. So perfect for fall and winter. It was a hit at my party!

**Note: Use the whole jalapeno. The original recipe actually calls for 2! If you like a real kick of heat, go for it! I didn't use the whole jalapeno and wished that I had.**

Corn Dip

2 cans mexi corn (drained)
1 1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup Mayo
1 jalapeno (seeded and ribs removed) - chopped finely
1 lg jar diced pimentos
1 tsp. Accent Seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Mix all together and bake at 350 for 30 mins. Stir 1-2 times during baking. Serve with Fritos.

The next recipe is my mother-in-law's cheese ball and it's AWESOME!!! By far my most favorite cheese ball recipe! The ingredients will seem weird - but they all work together perfectly. I usually serve it with Wheat Thins or Club Crackers. I truly think Macie would eat the entire thing if I'd let her - it's that good!

Cheese Ball

1 Package Cream Cheese - softened slightly
1 TBSP Worcestershire Sauce
1 Cup Chopped Pecans - Divided
1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 of a small can of crushed pineapple (drained)
3-4 dashes hot pepper sauce

Blend cream cheese, worcestershire sauce, garlic, pineapple, hot sauce and about 1/4 cup pecans together and form into a ball. Roll cheese ball in remaining 3/4 cup chopped pecans and chill until ready to serve. Serve with assorted crackers.
