Beer Cheese
2 lb block Velveeta cheese
1 can beer
Cayenne Pepper
Louisiana Hot Sauce
1 pt mayonnaise
Olive oil (optional)
This recipe I use a food processor, there is another where you use a mixer, slowly melt the cheese in a microwave to avoid burning then use same steps below.
Cut the cheese into small blocks and put in processor with mayo, 1 tbl olive oil and blend till mixed. Slowly pour beer in while blending, when cheese texture is creamy add Cayenne pepper to taste. I like to see flakes of pepper fairly close, use more or less to taste. Add Louisiana Hot Sauce again to taste 1 tbl spoon is mild but this is to taste, I like it on the hot side. Thoroughly blend and serve. Note the longer the cheese sets the hotter it gets. Enjoy.

Nola's Belly Buster Chili
3 lbs. ground beef
3 chopped onions
3 packages chili mix
3 cans of stewed tomatoes
3 cans of chili hot beans
3 cans of V8 juice
spaghetti (if desired)
Brown ground beef and onions. Stir in chili mix. Squish up the stewed tomatoes and add to mixture. Stir in chili hot beans. Add V8 juice. Add spaghetti if desired. I use angel hair spaghetti because it stays thin when cooked.
This is great for cold winter nights and is even better warmed up later. This recipe will feed approximately 25 hungry family members. Enjoy!
I will vouch for this recipe, best I have ever had, Gary, Nola’s husband.
