These Cheese Straws are a favorite ’cause they’re easy to make and tasty as can be. They’re just as great for snack time as they are for dipping into a bowl of soup or chili.
Makes: 60
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
What You’ll Need:
- 2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
What To Do:

Dipping these in a bowl of Chili is fabulous!
