Cheap Party Snacks

Cheese Ball
Zucchini/Parmesan Squares
Cocktail Meatballs

(This will serve a lot)

Cheese Ball

2 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened to room temp.
8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
1 Tbsp onion, minced
1 Tbsp pimento, minced and drained
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. garlic, minced
dash of salt
Cayenne pepper to taste
Chopped pecans or chopped parsley

Mix all ingredients (except the nuts or parsley) well and form into a
ball. Roll
the ball in the chopped nuts or parsley, refrigerate for a few hours to
let the
flavors blend. Serve with crackers.

Zucchini Parmesan Squares

4 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium and 1 small)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (from the can is fine)
2 Tbsp chopped parsley
1 cup Bisquick baking mix
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
A few dashes of hot red pepper sauce like Tabasco
4 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil


Heat oven to 350:. Butter a 9x13" baking pan. Combine all of the
ingredients except eggs and oil-stir in the zucchini and onions. Beat the
eggs and oil together and stir into the zucchini mixture. Pour into
prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until edges and lightly browned,
about 25 minutes. Cool in pan about 10 minutes before cutting into
squares. Can be served warm or at room temperature. Can also serve
spaghetti sauce (from a jar or homemade) along side of the squares.
Makes about 48 These can also be made ahead of time, wrapped well and
frozen. Just heat them in the oven until nice and warm.

Cocktail Meatballs

(I don't really have amounts so, I am guessing, I just mix them and they
always
come out great.

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
about 1/2 of an onion, grated
Milk, about 1/4 cup May add more if necessary
Oatmeal, about 1/4 cup

Mix all well and form into medium meatballs. Brown them in a little oil,
remove
from pan and drain on paper towels.

Sauce

3 Tbsp soy sauce
3 Tbsp brown sugar
3 Tbsp vinegar either cider or plain
1/2 cup catsup

Mix in a bowl. Place the meatballs in an oven proof dish, pour the sauce
over them and bake at 400: for about 1/2 hour. These make a lot and can be
doubled, I usually double the sauce. You can also use ground any type of
ground beef from regular to ground round, just whatever the budget
permits. Jan
