Pilot Club Christmas Party

Monday night we had the Pilot Club of Houston Christmas Party.   I have been looking for some new something to take and came across some good ideas.  I thought I would share with you some of the great recipes.

                                       Shrimp Dip

1 8oz. cream cheese                                 1 pkg. of Hidden Valley ranch Mix
1 bottle of cocktail sauce                          1can tiny shrimp
Crackers

Soften Cream Cheese to room temperature.  Mix Hidden Valley ranch Mix into Cream Cheese.  Spread on
a tray.  Cover Cream Cheese with Cocktail sauce.  Drain Shrimp.  Spread Shrimp over the sauce.  Serve with crackers.                    

                                        Party Pecan Pies
1 cup butter, softened                                    1pkg. 8 oz. Cream cheese, softened
2 cups of all purpose flour

In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until fluffy.  Gradually add flour and mix well.  Cover and Chill for 1 hour.  Press tablespoon of dough on to the bottom and the sides of ungreased miniature, Muffin cups to form shells.  Set aside.

2 cups chopped pecans
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs, beater
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Combine all ingredients together in a bowl.  Spoon about 1 heaping teaspoon into each shell.  Bake at 325 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until crust is brown and filling is set.  Cool for 10 minutes before from pans.  Makes about 4 dozens.
