Sour Cream Cheese Puffs

These made the perfect appetizers. Delicious. Even non cream cheese lovers liked them.

Ingredients
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup (8 oz) sour cream
1/3 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 tsp lemon juice
3/4 tsp dill weed
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tubes (12 oz each) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
Directions
In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, red pepper, onion, lemon juice, dill and pepper until blended. Cut each biscuit in half horizontally; press into greased miniature muffin cups. Place a rounded tablespoonful of cream cheese mixture in each cup. Bake at 375 °F for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve warm.

Bacon & Cheddar Dip

Holiday fopa #1 totally forgot the bacon for the dip. Duh! The recipe called for bacon bits and I thought it would be better with real bacon cooked and crumbled. And I'm sure it would have been but in the hustle and bustle it slipped my mind. The dip was still delish but who can resist ranch and sharp cheddar cheese. It went perfect with the homemade cheddar crisp crackers.
