Love & Best Dishes: Cheese Straws Recipe 

How many of y'all have tried cheese straws before?

Eddie and Theresa are so lucky, they have the BEST jobs in the world! Can you imagine having Miss Paula making your lunch just the way you like it? My grandmama would use a cookie press to make her cheese straws or if she were just making them for us she would sometimes roll them out with her hands. So delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe with us Miss Paula. Love and best dishes to you, Eddie and Theresa.

Okay Miss Paula, you're going to have to do another video to show us how you made that delicious homemade tomato basil soup!

I hope you keep up these quarantine cooking shows, you are a bright spot in my days. I m sure many others feel the same way🥰

Give Eddie what he wants lol!

Hey Paula can you show us how you made that tomato soup?? Please. Thank you😁

I have an old electric Super Shooter that is great for this. It makes Spritz and has dies for different cookie shapes, along with the decorator tips. I have made cheese straws with the flat disc--it makes a long strip about 1" wide with ridges down the top and once they're baked you cut them in shorter pieces. It comes out like a thick cracker or cookie made of cheese! They are wonderful. I agree that you have to add that little bit of cayenne to make them good.

Paula. you are too sweet the whole team is hope y'all had a great labor day with family there not MANY like you left so thankful you share with us

Eddie acts like he’s not the personal assistant of a famous and most fabulous cook. He’s so sweet. He didn’t want to ask.

True Southerner,Paula. “There’s your supper, Eddie”. We older southerners still call the evening meal “ supper”.

Paula’s Basil Tomato Soup Ingredients 3 lbs (about 9 globe or 24 plum) stemmed, halved, and seeded tomatoes. 3 tablespoons unsalted butter. 1 chopped medium white onion. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. 1/2 teaspoon sugar. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil. 2 teaspoons fresh oregano. Directions Preheat the boiler. Place the tomatoes cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until the skins begin to char and burst, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven. When cool enough to handle, remove the charred skins. Meanwhile, heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter and then the onion. Cook and stir until tender but not brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and simmer until the tomatoes have cooked down, about 20 minutes. Season with the salt, pepper, and sugar and add the basil and oregano. Serve immediately, or remove from the heat and cool completely before storing in the refrigerator or freezer.

Good morning ☀️those look delicious and easy going to have to try some with tomato soup cuz that's my fave too! YUMMM 😋

My mom made cheese straws every holiday 😋. Everyone loved them. Now I make them all year long since everyone is gone now. Just me and hub and our daughter 💕❤💖

When Paula said… it only requires a few ingredients. She had me at hey y’all!

I'm with Eddie tomato soups would be delicious with these cheese straws🤟🤟🤟🥫🥣🧀 you're so sweet Paula to make him some soup😘😍🥰🤩💛🧡🖤❤

Only from a bag… need to make these cause I love cheese…..

Soup and cheese sticks look delicious! Enjoyed.

Guys live in the South also Paula and have Cheese Straws at Parties and Tailgates also, just saying!

I make keto pizza crust. I take some chicken breast and grind it, add a few hand fulls of mozzeralla and some parmesan cheese, 2 eggs, add some italian seasoning, oregano, salt. Flatten it out, bake at 450 for 15 min, add your toppings then bake another 10 min. Michael might like this one.

For many years, my Mom made cheese rings which were more labor intensive. I now make them but use a cookie press but find it hard sometimes to press out so many. The ratio between the butter/cheese and flour has to be perfect to put through a cookie press but my family seems to love them so keep the tradition going.

Call yourself, "Lucky" Eddie 🤣 so yummy

Paula Deen... World's Perfect Boss!💯❤️

The way Paula said “A can?!” when Eddie was talking about tomato soup almost took me out!! 😂💀💀🍅🥫

Yum Yum! Cheese straws and tomato soup delicious!

I do realize that Theresa does a LOT of prep work, etc. before they start filming. I always appreciate all the work she does. I really do. BUT, let's keep, "Steady Hand Eddie" in mind, too! 🎬 📽 🎞 🎥 He's gotten SO good at this, he could start making full length movies any day now. Watch out, Paula,..... Clint Eastwood may pop up any day, & take Eddie with him!! (That'll mean no more fantastic treats & meals, though.) 🤣 😂

At this very moment, I have a box full of "just picked" tomatoes. Guess what I'm making!! Yes! And with cheese straws!! 👍❤

Growing up in Chicago, I had to move to ATLANTA as an adult to LEARN WHAT I WAS MISSING... CHEESE STRAWS!!! 😳❤️😂

Paula is awesome!!! Love Paula Deen

Looks delicious

I love me some cheese straws!!!

Just love you...that simple...you make me HAPPY!

I miss when you use to say no butt shots Eddie LOL love you all!

Good Morning

WOO HOO!!

This Cheese Straws recipe looks so delicious Paula.

I would like to see the one with rice crispy

I am ready for the 12 days of cookies. Theresa please find us some new cookies to make.

I've made cheese straws many times.

Paula they are to dang hard to squeeze out. You come up with your own cheese straws to buy.

Its Paula so you know theres a stick of butter in it. LOL Love you Paula!!!

Yah Eddie!

Good afternoon y'all

Tell your husband to come squeeze your dough…. He might have something different in mind lol but funny

Paula is the best!

Yay Eddie!

Paula, please show us how you made Eddie’s tomato soup. It looked so good and perfect for your cheese straws!🥰

Paula i think you are just an amazing person.

Happy Birthday Paula hope you have a great time love Sharon from the UK xx😘

I'd like to see the recipe done with the crispy rice in it.

I don't remember ever trying cheese straws before

Can you please teach me how to make that tomato soup Paula please?!

❤️❤️❤️

I wonder if my cookie press would work with this recipe?

amazing video

That's what I was gonna say I thought I've had the rice crispy(sp) one

I was gonna say I'm too weak also to do that method. I'll do the cereal

Awww Eddie deserves it😁

Paula I love your videos

Is it 2 cups after shredding the cheese or before like 16oz then shred it?

Make sure your cheese is room temperature too

White flour isn't good period. Is there a substitute that also goes with cheese? Can we use oat flour? Are the rice krispies instead of the white flour or in addition to the flour? I use those all the time when baking bread.

If you retire, what will happen to Eddie and Teresa?

My recipe called for all purpose flour. It'll be interesting to see how your's turn out.

Good morning Mrs. Paula Deen have a blessed and prosperous day.

These only cost $13 a lb if you wanna buy em.

Dude filming said a "can" of tomato soup around Paula Deen! LOL He done messed up right there. He done messed up real good. LOL

Miss Paula.. I know the general consense is that men grow better looking with age but I swear... You are the female version of that. You are continuely more beautiful

Easiest thing on earth to make, i dont get why you'd buy them pre made. My moms friend cant cook worth a dam so we tell her she makes the best cheese straws so she doesnt feel left out

Is it just me...or not being a southerner...that 'yes maaaaaaaaaaam' drives me nuts! Theresa please stop 😄.

Actually all the lady events, not one cheese straw I'm going what? yes, it's true not one cheese straw. 8 years worth so glad I am out of them.

Those weren't cheese straws 🙄

She is sooo stuck in the 60's. Ladies only, get your hubby to squeeze it for you, etc. I could go on and on regarding her stuck in the 60's. Heaven forbid her sons make a batch.🤐

LOL That is NOT a Pot of tomato soup! It might be 2 cups.
