Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 7,060 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Maybe you will go to a superbowl party, or some other get-together. What appetizer would you bring? Or would you just bring a six pack and a bag of chips? From another thread, I decided to make an appetizer based on a grilled cheese sandwich recipe. The bread will be from a baguette, maybe I will make the bread, maybe buy it, I don't know yet. I am working up the cheese formula: maybe a dash of tabasco or a strip of jalapeno, certainly some bacon or bacon fat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Subdeacon Joe 25,940 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Either a huge platter of deviled eggs or a batch of home made salsa and home fried tortilla chips. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chili Ron 938 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Howdy, Well, of course, chili.... But I also have some awesome chip dip recipes and one of those together with a few bags of chips can be tasty. Think back about git togethers and what stood out.

Cat Brules 1,726 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 A cracker with a dollop of spinach dip and a sundried tomato slice (packed in olive oil) pressed into the dip? Little cube of cheese with the sundried tomato slice speared to the cheese with a toothpick? Pre-prepared avocado dip (Costco?) and thin tortilla chips? (NO double-dipping, >:-( dammit!) Stuff like that. :-) :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Calamity Kris 2,200 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Depends on the crowd. For some of our more casual friends, some cream cheese with chili sauce in the center of a platter of crackers. For some of our more sophisticated friends, fresh guacamole dip with organic blue corn chips with flax seeds. Maybe some pastry baked Brie topped with mushrooms sauteed in white wine and green onions. Those are my top three. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JudgeBagodonuts 18 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Up in the Pocono mountains, a big crock pot of perogies with sauted butter and onions, or deep friend perogies, is going to make you the appetizer king. My favorite app to make and bring is tiny cheesecakes. They're a cupcake liner, with a Nilla Vanilla wafer in the bottom, and cheesecake on top. You cook them like a regular cheesecake, but it doesn't take an hour to make them. I top them with a spoonful of whatever fruit or jam I have in the refrigerator. They are super easy, but people think I slaved over them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clay Thornton 99 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Got this from a Iowa gal that moved to Nebraska chasing a guy. Either way very tasty! Italian Ham and Cheese Sandwiches 1 package Kings Hawaiian buns 1 package Honey Ham 1 package dry Italian seasoning 1 stick of butter Cheese slices Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray the pan before you place the Hawaiian buns into it. Place desired ham and cheese onto buns. Melt the stick of butter and mix the Italian seasoning with the melted butter. Spoon the butter/seasoning mixture over the tops of the buns and dump whatever is left in between the rows of buns for extra flavor. Bake for 10 minutes covered in foil, and then another 5 minutes without the foil on. Enjoy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 2,079 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Weenie tots.Little Smokie sized weenie tots -- take a package of bacon, slice it in half right in the package, open a can of sliced water chest nuts, drain. Mix half a cup of ketchup and half a cup of clear Karo. Or honey. Or whatever your favorite sweetnin' is. Other'n yer wife, mines' my sweetie. I get distracted easy. Take a half strip of bacon, wrap it around the weenie tot, spear it with a tooth pick and then impale a water chest nut slice with the coming-out end. This makes a nice flat foot so it'll stand up in one place and not roll around none on the cookie sheet. Rank these in rows on a cookie sheet and bake for a half hour at 350 degrees. Drain off the grease, drizzle or paint brush on your half and half ketchup and Karo and bake another half hour at 350. Make plenty. They go fast! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gooood, simple and easy spread on crackers. Oh! Cream cheese! Get a big block of it (like the 3# block from a food service place). Cut a pound of it off and let it soften. Peel some carrots and rough chop them. Rough chop some celery and a few green onion. Put 'em all in your food processor and chop 'em fine. Take the softened cream cheese and put it in a mixing bowl and whip it with an electric hand mixer. Add in the chopped veggies, a little salt, a goodly amount of ground black pepper, and Tabasco (or your favorite pepper sauce) to taste. Beat well, transfer to container and refrigerate. Serve with crackers, tortillas, toast, whatever Heck, slather it on deli sliced ham, add some pickle, and roll it up. Other good mix ins are green onion and spinach. Toasted sesame seeds. Smoked salmon and capers. Or ?????? Something to play with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 3,241 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 This is more a solution to an appetizer problem than it is an appetizer. I love shrimp with cocktail sauce - not that wimpy tomato dip they sell in jars - but REAL cocktail sauce, with enough horseradish in it to make steam come out your ears, followed by a spray of lemon juice from a real lemon. And I like to double or triple dip, adding more sauce and lemon as I work my way through each shrimp. But Mrs. LL advises that double dipping is socially unacceptable; so what to do? Stand around the shrimp bowl with a dozen other folks? And dip from each end? From my lovely wife came a simple yet elegant solution. She bought a package of small (4 oz.?) clear plastic cups - about the size of a double shot glass. And she half-fills each with real cocktail sauce, hangs 2 or 3 whole jumbo shrimp over the edge, alternated with lemon wedges or slices. Voila! Your own portable shrimp bowl. No muss. No fuss. And no dishes to wash. For the non-meat folks, she uses a Ranch or cucumber dip and stalks of celery, peppers, carrots and skinny bread sticks in the same cups; again, easy pre-party prep and no dishes to wash. Colorful, too. LL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
