BEEF AND CHEESE BREAD BUBBLES 
1 loaf (16 oz.) frozen white bread
32 cubes Cheddar (or any) cheese, 1/2 inch each
1 jar (2 1/2 oz.) sliced dried beef (or use a cube of hard salami, etc.)
1/4 c. butter
1/8 tsp. garlic powder

Let dough rise slightly according to package directions. Divide dough in half, then each half into 16 pieces. Cut beef slices in half and roll each cheese cube in a beef slice. Shape each dough piece around the beef-cheese cube, forming a ball; seal well. Roll balls in melted garlic-flavored butter. Layer the balls in a 1 1/2 quart deep round casserole (the medium mixing bowl) and let rise in a warm place until the dough fills the casserole. (I spray the bowl liberally with Pam, or it is very difficult to remove from the bowl.)

Bake at 375 degrees 30 minutes. Serve hot, allowing guests to pull balls from the loaf. Makes 32 appetizers.
