Group a selection of appetizers, including this nut-coated cheese spread, on a small table so early-comers can nibble while the rest of the crowd gathers.

• 2 8-ounce packages cream cheese
  
• 2 cups shredded smoked cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or Gouda)
  
• 1/2 cup margarine or butter
  
• 2 tablespoons milk
  
• 2 teaspoons steak sauce
  
• 1 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted
  
• Assorted crackers
  






Instructions
