• 1/2 block yellow American cheese
• 1/2 small can diced green chilies
• 1 roasted red pepper (peeled and diced)
• 2 tsp cayenne
• Dash of salt
• half and half until desired consistency

Heat cheese first, add all other ingredients, then finally add half and half to the right consistency.  Sauce will harden quickly so add more half and half than assumed.

Finely chop onion and cook until transparent in oil or butter.  Add can of tomato soup and the milk.  Let heat.

Add 3/4 lb. cut-up cheese (use 1 lb. if you prefer).  Melt.  Season with salad mustard, worcestershire, salt, pepper and a few grains of cayenne.  Season to taste.

Ten minutes before serving, beat 2 whole eggs, and add to mixture.  Let thicken.

Serve over saltines, or toast.  Excellent over rice which has been cooked with 2 T. butter, and about 12 stuffed olives added to the rice.

Use processed cheese, if desired.  Flavor will be riper is old-fashioned rat trap cheese is used.

Serves 4 generously.

I put this in here just because of the rat trap cheese.  I love it when a recipe makes me laugh out loud.  I really don’t understand what this is…a kind of tomato cheese fondue?  I guess I won’t find out, I had all my rat trap cheese for lunch.

Simmer onions and garlic in wesson oil until limp.  Combine all ingredients and put in uncovered casserole.  Bake at 350 for 40 mins to an hour.

–from Christ Church Cookbook Savannah, GA

“Cook in wesson oil until limp.”  Well doesn’t that just make you want to run out and make this recipe?  I can actually vouch for this recipe….I have made it many times, it is one of my husbands favorite foods.  In fact, he is sick and I am making it for him for dinner.  I do not use the wesson oil though.  I use butter.  About a tablespoon, and if the casserole doesn’t mix up all smooth like I add a glug of olive oil.  TADA!

Mix and heat all in top of double boiler until cheese is melted.  Keep warm and serve with corn chips.  Especially recommended for a beer party.

I must confess that I did not add this recipe because I wanted to make it.  I added it because it had a funny name, and because it is “recommended for a beer party.”  Because church ladies are oh so well known for their awesome beer parties.  When I think “Prairie Fire Dip”, I think of the farting scene in Blazing Saddles.

MSG if wanted?  Now who wouldn’t want a little MSG with their dried beef???  I believe this cheese ball is supposed to be served with the “Green Cheese Ball” at the Xmas time. How cute.
