Cheese Sausage Balls

1 pound sausage (mild or hot), broken into bits, fried and drained well
1/4 cup milk
10 oz grated cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
3 cups Bisquik

Combine Bisquik and cheddar cheese together.  Crumble sausage in along with the garlic salt.  With fork or hands, mix all of this, adding splashes of milk to the mixture.  Once all ingredients are well-combined, roll into 1-inch balls and put on ungreased cookie sheet.  Cook at 325°F for 25 minutes or until brown.

Shrimp Dip

And now, with much ado . . . 
2 pounds cream cheese, diced and softened
1/2 pound cooke, chopped shrimp (can use small, frozen salad shrimp)
1 medium onion, chopped 
1 medium tomato, chopped 
4 banana peppers, chopped 
3 Torrido peppers, chopped (Trappey's label usually has them)
1 tablespoon garlic juice or 4-5 cloves, pressed.

Chop onion, tomato, and peppers in a food processor.  In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine pepper mixture, cream cheese, shrimp, and garlic.  Microwave for 20 minutes on high, stirring every 5 minutes.  Serve with tortilla chips.  Dip is best if it stays warm in a chafing dish or crockpot.  Serves approximately 24.

If Torrido peppers are unavailable, some cooks have substituted pepperoncini.  JalapeƱos can also be used in small quantities.
