Answer 3

This is not a spicy recipe, but it is a great appetizer and it also goes great with regular meals. Cheezy bread poppers--2 cans refrigerated buttermilk bicuits (NOT the layered biscuits), 1 bag cubed monteray chedder cheese,1 cup parmesan cheese and 1-2 Tbsp. italian seasoning, 4Tbsp. melted butter. Preheat oven to 375. Open biscuits and flatten to about 3-4 in. round. Place 1or 2 cubes cheese in center and wrap up, sealing the edges and then roll into a ball. Mix parmesan cheese and italian seasoning in small bowl and set aside. Dip balls in butter then roll in parmesan mixture. Place in greased pan at 1 in. apart and bake till browned. These are delicious dipped in pizza sauce or ranch dressing!

Answer 6

Rotel dip always goes over big, if you have access to a microwave. Chunk up a block of Velveeta in a bowl-add a can of Rotel tomatoes & chiles-microwave 2 minutes, stir, repeat until melted and smooth-serve with tortilla chips. You can add some cooked chicken, ground beef or sausage as well if you want.

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teasponn black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne

1 cup flour
4 eggs

4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled

Add flour and stir mixture with a wooden spoon until dough forms a ball around the spoon. Cook until it starts to stick slightly on bottom and side of pan. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

Beat in eggs, one at a time, until completely incorporated. Use a food processor for easier incorporation of eggs. Add eggs in a steady stream and process for 30 seconds.

Put mixture in a large bowl and stir in both cheese, scallions, and reserved bacon. Using a 1-teaspoon scoop or measure, drop dough 2 inches apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until puffs are browned and crisp. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Answer 9

For some reason people LOVE salami with cream cheese. If you do a lot of them, it ends up looking pretty cool, and it's really easy. I also like to roast my own peppers and serve with fresh mozzarella and basil. Another thing people think I spent days on, but I didn't.
