Having a few people over for very casual night of beer & apps - we are already making wings & a hot mexican dip with chips - but need some other ideas. Please share your favorite app. recipe that would fit this gathering. Thanks!
Re: Appetizer suggestions
Mini meatballs in slow cooker. For the sauce take a jar of chili sauce and a jar of grape jelly, orange marmelade or a can of cranberry sauce. Mix the 2 items you choose in a pan over low heat until smooth then pour over meatball in slow cooker and let cook on low like 2 hours before the party.
Pizza dip with bagel chips. Cream cheese spread in dish, pour jar of pizza sauce over and top with mozzerella. Bake at 350 like 15min. You can add any additional toppings if you like.
Veggie Pinwheels incase someone doesnt eat meat. You can make them or find them in the freezer section and just unthaw.
Goat cheese empanadas.
Take piecrust and unroll. Cut 24 circles with a three inch biscuit cutter. Cut a 4 oz goat cheese log and cut into 24 pieces. Place 1 piece in each circle. moisten edge of circle, fold circle in half and pinch. Cook in preheated 400 degree oven for 8-13 minutes until golden brown. Serve with Corn Salsa.
wrap anything in bacon and you always have a hit. Another fun thing- get the frozen soft pretzels, let them thaw enought to cut them into pieces, then deep fry them. Serve with honey mustard.
Anything on a toothpick or skewer is also good.
