What would you bring as an appetizer for a party?

Answer 1

If you can do a crockpot do little smokies in BBQ sauce or sweet and sour meatballs. If not, do a layered taco dip, it has for a base cream cheese (spread out thin) and then you layer whatever you want like refried beans, lettuce, onions, black olives...you can find recipes on allrecipes.com remember to take the nacho chips for dipping.

You can always do a block of cream cheese with either cocktail sauce poured over it or hormel beanless chili or some type of chutney and bring some crackers or chips for dipping.

Answer 2

Whenever I have to bring an appetizer to a party or just don't want to go empty handed I fry about three packages of Hillshire Farm Little Smokies and submerge them into barbecue sauce! It might seem really simple but they taste great and believe me there are never any left over!
- To make it look pretty buy some colored toothpicks so the guests can use instead of a slotted spoon!!

Answer 3

depends on the kind of party it is, but nice cheese (brie, blue cheese etc) and some crackers might be good. Pate is delicious too. If you want to go more casual, get some frozen appetizers you can make in the oven quickly - like little potstickers or quiches.

Answer 4

i used to cater and we started our cocktail parties and banquets with hors d'oeuvres . Crowd favorites were pigs in a blanket, scallions wrapped with bacon, chicken satay, bruschetta, sesame chicken bites, and coconut shrimp.

If going to a party, try to bring something that's a finger food or can be carried around in a napkin or on a small plate that way people can be mobile and keep the flow of conversation.

Answer 5

Pinwheels (my version):

Flour tortillas

Cream cheese (softened to room temp at least 2 hrs)
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Can of Chopped Green Chili - or chop up a Jalapeno
Crumbled Bacon Bits
2 Green Onions, chopped finely.
Garlic, salt & pepper to taste.
Mix all well together

Lay tortilla flat and spread a nice helping of the filling all over. Roll up and cut into little pinwheels (don't use the outer edges, you get to eat those little tidbits).

Answer 10

Sausage Cheese Balls.

1 cup Bisquick
8 oz Jimmy Dean Sausage
2 cups shredded cheese

Mix them together, roll them into balls, and bake for about 10 minutes, or until their brown. The good thing about this recipe is that the ingredients are not set, it's ok if you have more bisquick, or more cheese, etc...just depends on your preference.

It's real good with cheese sauce.

Also, try: Little smokie, with one green bean, wrapped in bacon. (hold together with toothpick) Sprinkle brown sugar on top and bake for 10-15 minutes. You can also add BBQ sauce if desired.
