Does anyone have any good simple appitizer recipes?

INGREDIENTS:


2 tablespoons lemon juice


1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce


1 tablespoon seasoned salt


2 cans (5 ounces each) water chestnuts, drained


8 slices bacon, cut in half


PREPARATION:


In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoned salt. Add water chestnuts and let marinate for 15 minutes. Drain and wrap a half slice of bacon around each water chestnut, securing with toothpicks.


Arrange on rack in broiler pan and broil about 4 inches from heat for 2 minutes on each side. Bacon should be crisp.





Optional sauce is terriakiDoes anyone have any good simple appitizer recipes?
Yep!





Get some Wonton Wraps (usually hanging in the produce section of the store). They come 60 wraps to a pack.





Brown two pounds of hamburger or sausage crumbled well with 1 sweet onion chopped. Drain and add 2 packets of Ranch Dressing Mix (dry pkt.).





While the meat is cooking take the Wonton wraps and place them in a muffin tin and pre-bake them to form a bowl. Place on a cookie sheet (a large one). I make 48 to 50 at a time.





Spoon your meat mixture in the cups and top with grated cheddar cheese and place back in the oven to melt the cheese on top.





Add toppings such as shredded lettuce, salsa, sour cream guacamole, chopped tomato and chopped green onions.





Pop in your mouth one at a time and enjoy!





If you don't want to do the Wonton Wraps you can buy already prepared pie crust cups but the wraps are fun to do and less exspensive.Does anyone have any good simple appitizer recipes?
crackers and cheese.
These are my favorites!





Cream Cheese Cracker Spread:





5 green onions with tops, chopped


1 lg. can black olives, chopped well


1 cup finely grated sharp cheddar cheese


3-8oz. cream cheese, softened


Dash garlic powder


Dash onion powder


Salt


Pepper





Blend all ingredients together (I use a hand mixer). Serve in a pretty bowl with crackers.





Chicken Wings





We're all about easy! I buy the best sauce I can find for the flavor I want (terriaki, BBQ, etc.), then put the wings and the sauce in the crock pot until done (about 4-6 hours). If they're done sooner, I turn the crockpot to 'warm' and let them simmer. Yum!








This is the best and easiest dip recipe, and people always rave! I tell them it鈥檚 really hard to make (lol):





Cream Cheese Dip





2 large blocks of cream cheese


1 large jar Pace picante (medium)-use most of the jar





Soften cream cheese and mix with hand mixer until smooth. Add picante and mix with hand mixer. Leave in frig for a few hours to blend flavors. Serve with chips.





I know it seems too simple to be great, but it is!





Chive and Garlic Dip


4 teaspoons dried chives


2 teaspoons dried onion flakes


1 teaspoon garlic salt


1 teaspoon garlic powder


1 teaspoon celery seeds


1 pinch black pepper


3 cups sour cream


Combine the seasonings in a plastic baggy and make sure all is combined well. Add to the sour cream and stir to combine. Chill before serving.





This isn't really an appetizer, but it's good for parties and to take to work, etc.





Nacho Dip


Here's my no fail, always asked-for nacho dip. When it's heated through, put it on warm or low, or unplug for a short time if it's too hot. Everyone raves about this:





1 1/2 pounds ground beef, browned


1 can cream mushroom soup


1/4 cup butter


2 lb Velveeta, cubed


2 cups Pace Chunky Salsa, (medium is our favorite, mild or hot if you like)


3 Tbsp Chili Powder





Put all into crock pot. Cook on low 1-1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Serve with tortilla chips. Yummy!





And this is an easy chip dip that is excellent!
