Cheddar Ale Sauce

Saute onions in olive oil until softened and lightly browned. Combine the softened cream cheese, Halladay's Cheddar Ale Seasoning, sour cream, mayo and cheddar cheese. Fold in the cooked onion and cooked chopped bacon. Pour into decorative pie plate or oven proof dish. Bake at 350˚F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Serve with warm French bread, pita chips, crackers or kettle cooked potato chips.

Preheat oven to 450˚F. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, cream of tartar and seasoning. Using a mixer, add in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese. Make an indentation in the middle of the flour mixture and add milk all at once. Using a fork, stir just until mixture is moist. Roll dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead dough until it holds together. Pat dough until ¾ inch thick. Cut dough with 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place dough circles 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Makes 12 biscuits.

Combine ingredients; blend well. Let chill for two hours. Serve with your favorite chips or veggies.

Mix bacon and walnuts together, set aside. Combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese and seasoning mix until well blended. Chill until firm. Shape into a ball and roll in bacon and nut mixture.
