Appetizers to please all ages...?

Question

I'm responsible for bringing the appetizers for Thanksgiving. We have all ages from 4 years old to 75. I need a few ideas to please all palates. Anyone know any good recipes?

Answer 1

16-ounce box Velveeta
3/4 cup whole milk
1 green Anaheim pepper, seeded and diced (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup diced white onion
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
2 teaspoons minced cilantro
juice of 1 lime
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (freshly ground is best)
pinch of salt
pinch of dried thyme
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced (about 2/3 cup)

Garnish
1/4 cup ranchero cheese, crumbled

tortilla chips for dipping


1. Combine Velveeta and milk in a medium saucepan over medium/low heat. Stir often as cheese melts. Be careful not to burn it.

2. When cheese is melted add the remaining ingredients, but not the tomatoes. Continue to cook over medium/low heat for 7 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning. Stir in tomatoes and remove queso from heat.
3. Pour queso into a serving dish, top with crumbled ranchero cheese and serve with tortilla chips for dipping.

Makes about 2 cups.

Answer 2

Crabbies! If you've never had these, you don't know what your missing. Everybody RAVES about these and they can be done way ahead of time!

1 can of crab meet, same size as Tuna can
1 (5-ounce) jar Cheddar-horseradish spread (recommended: Kraft Old English)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
Dash hot sauce or cayenne pepper
6 English Muffins



In a large bowl, combine crab, cheese spread, mayonnaise, garlic powder, butter and hot sauce. Divide mixture evenly over each English Muffin half. Put on cookie sheet and freeze for an hour. Cut the rounds into quarters and bake now or freeze in ziplock bag until you want them.

Bake at 425 until topping is heated through and golden brown on top, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Enjoy!

Answer 3

Take 1 block of cream cheese on a plate, cover with 1 tin tiny canned shrimp. Cover that with cocktail sauce, lemon juice, and dill. Serve with Ritz crackers. Always a favorite.

Answer 4

I take soft taco shells and spread cream cheese on them. I like to spread a teaspoon of salsa on top of that. Then, I lay a slice of turkey, chicken, or roast beef on top of the slasa. I roll it up as tight as I can. Then, I slice it into bite size pieces about 1 inch wide and arrange them on a plate.. They are yummy!
