Mad Dog 357 Gold Edition

Every New Year’s Eve party needs a cheese ball – even if it’s just a few people (even if it’s just you and your family). And, once you’ve accepted that, you’ll quickly figure out that this is the specific cheese ball you want.

Let’s be honest, almost everyone has a small pile of food bits kicking around the fridge and freezer that just must be eaten if – if only you could come up with some inspiration to make it all happen.  These quesadillas are just that... the best way to use a couple of cooked chicken breasts. And, because it’s a very forgiving recipe, you can throw anything else you want into the recipe. Cooked butternut squash? Why not?

The genius of these incredible pies is that you can remove from their ramekins and pack them in your lunch for the office. And, you’ll want to. They’re freaking amazing in a way that you won’t soon forget. Of course, that’s the bite of the Mad Dog, but we will give a little credit to the steak and beer… You know, because they all work so well together. You’ll get 6 pies out of the recipe and we totally suggest hoarding them in the freezer rather than sharing. 

You could call this a Great recipe, but you’re going to serve it at every cookout between now and… well forever. Sure, it doesn’t go on the grill, but it’s fiery cheese goodness with hot dog dippers. If you really want to double down, use cheese sausages. Mmmm good.
