Hi Lorrie,
Here is one that I make for lot's of occasions. It is just a cheese dip/spread for crackers, but alot of people like it.

Cheese Bell

1-8 oz container of Sharp Cheddar Cheese Food
(usually comes in a little tub, sometimes it is touggh to find the 8oz size)
1-8 oz package of cream cheese (isn't it silly not to use Philly?)
2 tsp each
chopped onion (alot of people have issues with onions, so chop them real small)
chopped green pepper
chopped pimento (if you chop this too small it disintegrates when you mix it)

2 Tblsp margarine
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp lemon juice

Combine cheese and margarine
Mix well
Add remaining ingredients
Mix well.....Chill

Now, that is the recipe, here is what I do different:
I destroy the onions, because like I said, alot of people have issues with onions, but you don't want to leave them out, they add to the flavor....obviously.
I usually throw a little more in. The same goes for the peppers and pimentos.
I always double the amount of worcestershire sauce.

If it is Christmas time, I try to leave the pepers bigger, and make sure not to cut up the pimentos. Just cut them into two or three pieces. That way it looks more festive with all of the red and green bits and pieces in there.
For crackers, I always get the Pepperidge Farm pack of 3 different crackers. At Christmas time, they have a Holiday box that has a fourth one.

That's all for now. I'll see if there is anything else that I am willing to share.
