Looking for new recipes for cream cheese.... (chicken breast, hamburgers, horseradish)

[CArizona]

I put cream cheese in my mashed potaotoes and love the taste....What else can I do with cream cheese? I'd love to add cream cheese to everything I make....Does anyone have any ideas or recipes for the "everyday use" of cream cheese? Thanks ahead of time.

I cube softened cream cheese and softened butter in the bottom of a dish (sometimes I zap it in the microwave for a few seconds) and pour hot pasta and broccoli over it. Stir it all up, sprinkle a little garlic salt and parmesan on it.

I use it instead of cheddar cheese on my hamburgers.

I flatten chicken breasts, spread cream cheese and garlic on them, roll them up and bake.

I make tortilla roll-ups.

Cream cheese is good with everything

Thanks for all of the ideas and suggestions. It helps....I'll "go crazy" with cream cheese and do a lot of experimenting now. Thanks again....

I recently saw a TV commercial for cream cheese (it was probably for Philadelphia brand, but who cares?) and they showed it being added to a pot of tomato sauce, where it melted and turned the sauce more of a creamy rose' sauce.

I've been meaning to try it myself -- thanks for the reminder!

Oh, YEAH! That's a goodie!

Can also add it to enchilada sauce.

Oh man, I need to go eat .....

This is a crazy sounding onion dip for chips or veggies, but it is really good!

Fresh Onion Dip
8 oz. cream cheese
1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup
1 medium onion chopped

Soften cream cheese and mix until creamy. Add soup and fresh onions. Refrigerate for about an hour.
Serve with chips, or fresh cut veggies.

My friend recently turned me on to cream cheese with hot pepper jelly on crackers. It is sooooo good. Just add wine

Yes get Harry and david's hot pepper relish, mix w/softened cream cheese and watch it disappear.

The Philadelphia Cream Cheese has a website with additional recipes. It's awesome in mashed potatoes.

Spread on Ritz or any cracker for that matter...as is. Yum , I love the stuff!

Slices of deli ham, spread with cream cheese, lay a pickle down the center, roll up and cut into appy servings. Can do the same with roast beef but add some horseradish to the cream cheese.
