Attending a Holiday Wine Tasting Party tomorrow night.

Besides a nice wine, we are asked to each bring a "Heavy Appetizer"
(but not a salad or dessert which the hostess will provide).

Could any or all please help me. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

By the way, I just returned from vacation tonight recovering from
"Severe Food Poisening.

"Heavy, Quick & Easy" preferred.

TIA, DMBS

Google this newsgroup for meatballs in grape jelly sauce. If that's not
heavy enough, nothing is.

An RFC Classic: Grape Jelly Meatballs

1 lb. lean ground beef
1 Cup soft bread crumbs
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 Tablespoons minced onion
2 Tablespoons milk
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
2/3 cup chili sauce
2/3 cup grape jelly

Combine first 8 ingredients. Form into 40 bite-size meatballs, using a
rounded teaspoon for each. Brown meatballs in oil. Cover; cook over low heat

Combine chili sauce and jelly; pour over meatballs. Heat, stirring
occasionally, until jelly melted. Simmer 10-12 minutes until sauce has
thickened, basting occasionally.

make them ill?

Hey, they asked for "Heavy, Quick & Easy". If that ain't it, I don't know
what is.

Actually, a little (note...little!) grape jelly in a marinara sauce isn't
bad. Kinda like chocolate or cinnamon in Chili. I *do* agree with you on
the rape-jelly-and-chili sauce thingie, though. ;-)

Step away from the grape jelly jar. Slowly. You have also violated your
chili making license. I count three violations here, in total.

I never said I *make* chili, though I have been known to eat it. With or
without beans. <eg>
