"Lil' Smokies" mini smoked sausage, and a sauce, typically a bottled BBQ
sauce, or a BBQ sauce and equal amount of grape (or other flavor) jelly,
enough to cover the sausage well.

Put all into a crockpot and turn on high until hot, then turn to low for
the duration. No muss, no fuss, and a tasty, healthy appetizer to boot!

ball thing with the green olive in the center.

Luncheon ham spread with cream cheese, lay a pickle on the ham slice
and roll up. Refrigerate, seam side down. When firm, cut into
appetizer size pieces. You can do the same with many different lunch
meats, seasoning the cream cheese as you desire and substitute olives
for pickles. Season cream cheese with horseradish, or dill, or Cajun
or Mexican, Italian seasonings.

Tortilla pinwheels - these are easy enough to look up on the 'Net for
recipes.

These are always a big hit, especially around the holidays. They also
freeze well so you can pull some out if you have unexpected guests and
want
to serve a little something. Thanks!

Cheese balls and crackers

OR just go to Costco and pick up a couple of the boxes of frozen
appetizers or get some fresh appetizers from their deli case.

Good Luck

Years ago, I made Hoagie dip. I thought it was nasty but everyone at the
party loved it. I know I got the recipe from Allrecipes but I do not
remember putting any lettuce or tomatoes in it. This is the recipe.

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/23938/hoagie-dip/

Another thing that people always seem to love is Espinaca Con Queso although
I have no actual recipe for it. I just make it until it looks right to me.
Basically a mixture of cream cheese and Velveeta (I use equal amounts of
each), melted slowly, then some chopped spinach, excess liquid squeezed out,
particularly if frozen but you can use fresh. Add plenty of spinach. You
want just enough cheese to hold it together. Then a little salsa to thin it
down. Serve warm with tortilla chips and/or raw veggies. This keeps well
in a Crockpot.

Me too, so I take the easy way out with Brie and pears or a cheese
platter.

Other easy appetizers are

Dates stuffed with blue cheese, wrapped with bacon and broiled or
baked until the bacon is crispy.
Stuffed Mushrooms (stuffing varies), I make them mushroom stuffed but
I don't object to eating them when they're stuffed with meat
Fig And Walnut Tapenade
Mini-quiche
Mushroom pate

How about bacon wrapped chicken?

1.25 lbs (3) boneless skinless chicken breast (I use boneless thighs),
cut in 1-inch chunks - about 30 pieces
10 slices bacon, cut into thirds.

Directions:

Preheat oven on to 375°F.

Wrap a piece of bacon around each piece of chicken; secure with a
toothpick and place on a baking sheet (use foil for easy cleanup).

Bake on the lower rack turning halfway about 25 minutes, or until
thoroughly cooked and browned. Blot on a paper towel and serve with a
dipping sauce of Sweet Thai Chili Sauce.

Probably too late now, but I like the flour tortilla roll-ups.
Spread a squared-up tortilla with veggie (or other flavor) room temp cream cheese.
Lay a thin slice of ham over it.
Put a dill pickle about a half inch from one edge.
Roll up fairly tightly and chill until firm.
Slice into pinwheels, however thick you want them.

HI!

Pineapple chunks wrapped in bacon (cut the slices to the
appropriate length to wrap the chunk, secure with toothpick)
Bake at 350.

Steve mentioned stuffed mushrooms, I'm a sucker for those.
Sausage stuffed, whatever.

Crab dip on crackers.

Happy New Year!

I made them once, just to see what they were. People mention them
all the time. Okay, I would never try those again if I didn't have
my (sound of angels singing) stand mixer.

Your munchies look really good. I love appetizers of all kinds.

Except the dreaded grape jelly meatballs.

But a crockpot with good little meatballs, those would be an easy
appetizer for Melba.

Curried crab dip...adjust to fit the amount you need - you know me, I
wing it -but you can use a large can of crab, more cream cheese, etc

Can of crab meat
Cream cheese block
Enough sour cream to make the cream cheese easier to mix, or a bit of
milk or cream or half and half
Curry powder to taste

Just mix it up. Takes about 2 minutes. Great with crackers or
crudites.

I used to make sausage balls, that was decades ago. If you don't have a
stand mixer here's a hint: slightly melt the cheese in the microwave and
let the sausage come to almost room temp. (Paranoid people need not
apply.) They're easier to roll and mix with the <gasp> bisquick type
baking mix. Quite tasty!

Swedish meatballs. Sour cream based sauce.

I like little mini "pizzas" made with sausage on party rye bread.

One of the simplest involves no skills at all other than a little prety
plating.

Box of pretty round cracker/waifers and I'd also have triscuits in
squares. At this stage you build up about 1/2 the plate and let the
rest be a build your own.

A container of Alouette cheese dip (they sell 5 versions here), repot
it ino a pretty bowl.

https://www.google.com/search?q=japa...m.microsoft:en
-US:IE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7MXGB_enUS514&tbm=isch&tbo=u&sourc e=univ&sa=X&ved
=0ahUKEwi659aCtYvKAhVLwmMKHcSTBwIQsAQIZA&biw=1600& bih=732

or http://tinyurl.com/zxg863z

I have close to 20 of that sort of small but pretty bowls. The bottoms
fit perfectly into depressions on a glass serving dish I got off
freecycle. There are 4 bowl fittings across the back so I'd do 2
cheese types at the center set then one end would get chopped black
olives and the other might be minced green onions with some of the
bulbs cut to round slices. Using the center of the tray, I'd setup
several crackers of both types with the cheese then add a few olive
pieces and a little green onion. Then surround with more crackers and
have some nice looking utensils about.

Basically it looks like you did something fancy but it's easy and fast.

It's also a grow with it sort of thing so in my case I could put one
cheese out (other in reserve) and fill the remaining bowl with sliced
cherry tomatoes or a jarred pimiento or sun dried tomatoes etc.

Here's another since you asked for really simple ones. Pinwheels are
really easy to put together.

1 pack flour tortillas
filling

How much filling depends on size of tortilla and your desires but you
are aiming to spread this no more than 1/2 thick (most go more to 1/3
inch).

What to use for filling varies. The above cracker set works well.
Pimento cheese works (lay green onion tops at about 4-5 'leaves' per
roll) add black olives, roll then slice with a sharp knife so you cut
through the onion. Cream cheese and grape or strawberry jelly works
well if there are also kids around. Any filling that will pretty much
hold together is a workable one here. You can even use tuna or chicken
salad but make it a firm one. To make it festive, add some color
contrast such as thin sliced bell pepper (or jarred pimento), green
onion tops, or whatever seems will match in flavors to the main base.
Now roll it up and slice and you are done! Place on plate somewhat
haphazardly for better looks and have tongs so folks can serve
themselves. Slicing is normally at 1/2-3/4 inch thick (too thin and
they fall apart).

For wraps, you can also preslice anything that would be long (such as
green onions) then slice about 1/2 the 'loaf' and leave the knife with
the rest in a 'serve your own' style. You can also upscale the wrap by
using lettuce leaves, spinach, nappa cabbage etc. for the wrapper
instead of the flour tortilla but they can be a bit more finicky to
roll up pretty and stay together. They are more normally done in small
individual packages secured with a toothpick.

If you want a cooked one, I think this is called Rumaki? Chicken
livers wrapped in a slice of raw bacon then baked in cream of mushroom
soup (the soup is discarded afterwards and a southern white sauce/gravy
used for display). The canned soup should come up to almost 1/2 way
the livers. It's not diluted. It will be very salty and greasy so
that's why it's discarded then you can make a gravy for serving. To
keep this really easy, look at the packaged ones. There will be at
least one for 'biscuit gravy' that makes a white one. Often has black
pepper in it and that will work well.

Too late, but the laziest appetizer I know: Savory crackers, cream
cheese, and red and/or green pepper jelly. Smear the crackers with
cream cheese, then dot with jelly. Red and green mixed are ideal
for Christmas parties.

the first thing that I do when making the sausage cheese balls is to
mix the shredded cheese with the baking mix. that keeps the cheese
from clumping,

How about spreading some of your award winning jams over a block of
cream cheese? Get the interesting crackers to go with. I know I
would like that.

I was told the sausage-cheese balls were a favorite Southern dish,
best served with Jezebel sauce (apple jelly and pineapple preserves
mixed fifty-fifty, with prepared horseradish and Creole mustard added,
along with a little hot sauce, to Jezebel it up).

I made these for my work breakfasts this week. I cook mine in a
375 degree oven for about 24-25 minutes. After 12 minutes I take
them out of the oven and roll them over in the pan. They look a
bit 'naked' if I don't.

If you have a KitchenAid mixer it makes this chore a breeze.
I also use a small scoop to dish out the mixture and then roll
into balls. Pretty consistent size.

Ha! I didn't see your post before I made mine stating to
use a KitchenAid mixer if you have one.

I just buy the hot sausage and make them with that. Some people
like them even hotter and will add a few dashes of cayenne pepper

That's the first thing that occurred to me: stand mixer, use paddle
except I wouldn't try them in the first place. The thought of meat
mixed into bread doesn't appeal.

I've never even been anywhere where they served those things. I had to look
that sauce up prior too. Never heard of it before that.

If you ever get the chance try just one. If they're made
with spicy hot breakfast sausage they're quite tasty.

It's not bread, it's baking mix (like Bisquik). No different from using
flour with some added leavening ingredients. It's merely a binder.

One I learned today (and made)... Peppadew spread/dip. Just peppadews
and cream cheese, throw it in the food processor and whiz. You can
serve it with rice crackers, but I'd stuff celery with it. Done.

Uh yeah. Are you telling me you never add flour to something you don't
plan to turn into bread?
