Cheese Pecan Spread

• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
• 2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
• 3/4 cup Hellmanns or Best Foods Real Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion (white and pale green part only)
• 4 strips cooked bacon, drained and crumbled
• Cheese grater

1. Combine all ingredients and chill 12 hours.
2. Serve with bagel chips or water crackers.
3. Variations: My friend Becky Loboda, Mission Hills, Kansas makes a simple dip similar to this by blending grated Monterey Jack cheese with mayonnaise (use the proportions above as a guide).
4. She blends in a little dried minced onion, to taste, and serves it with water crackers.
5. I do the same with Swiss cheese, ground white pepper and chives, to taste.
