Grandmother's Tomato- Cheese Log
"This is my grandmother's recipe (obviously) and she made it at holidays. I remember sneaking into it when I was little, before everybody else got there. It's great with crackers, and I have also given them for Christmas presents."
- Ready In:
- 2hrs
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
4 logs
ingredients
- 15 -16 ounces canned whole tomatoes, drained
- 16 ounces grated cheddar cheese (Sharp is the best)
- 16 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup finely minced onion
- 1 -2 minced garlic clove (powdered garlic will work, 1-2 tsp.)
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 16 ounces finely chopped pecans (or more)
directions
- Blend all ingredients except pecans.
- Roll into 4 logs on wax paper and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.
- Roll in pecans. Keep refrigerated.
- I found that if I froze it solid, I had to thaw it slightly to get the pecans to stick. I also was able to freeze them again after I rolled them in the pecans. Wrap in wax paper or plastic wrap to freeze.

I am a clinical social worker, working as a mental health therapist at an alternative school..? I am diabetic, and recently have begun working on counting carbs to get my blood sugar under control. I am a single parent with an adult son who has Asperger Syndrome, an autistic spectrum disorder. He's a picky eater, has some sensory issues I have to pay attention to. I also aid my elderly mother. I enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy, playing folk guitar and singing.? Feeding two is a challenge for me because I was raised cooking for a crowd. But I love cooking for crowds, and for holidays, when I can!
