Appetizer – New Year’s Eve

Appetizer – New Year's Eve

Going to a get together and need to bring a dish to pass. I'm sure the host will have the basics, I need something a little different.   In the past, it doesn't seem to be a seafood crowd. Any ideas?

2 Bags of Frito scoops

2 small cans of Rotel with chili tomatoes and 1 tube of Jimmy Dean Spicy Sausage and one brick of Velveeta cheese.

Melt the velveeta drain the Rotels and pre-cook the spicy sausage and drain off excess fat,  after the velveeta is melted mix in the tomatoes and cooked sausage. Great dip serve warm and the Frito's for dipping make this a real crowd pleaser might want to double the batch its that good.

I want to try new and different things this year....we seem to do the same things for Christmas Eve and New Years so I want to change it up this year. Any suggestions would be great.  For Christmas we had hot wings, honey BBQ wings, jalapeño cheese dip, hot itialian cheese balls, meatballs n gravey, raw beef, lil porkies, cheese and sausage and pickled herring.

Actually a good home made Mac n cheese is always a winner with the kids.

Ram, you oughtta right a cook book for JD sausage. I agree, though, good stuff. Sounds like just the thing to make this little gem sing.

Seriously, though, if you make your own tortilla chips with this dip, you could hurt somebody. Real easy to make. I'm cool with scoops, though. I just don't get Tostitos and all these other weak tortilla chips.

Fritos go great in chili, too. I used to be all about just crackers with chili. these days, cornbread and chili are my favorite combo. Awright, shut up, Greg.

Raw Ground Round (freshly ground by the in-store butcher)
Rye Bread
Onions
Salt and pepper to taste

Gotta have this once a year at least. One of my favorites.

Ram, have you tried JD hot yet? I'm seeing it in the stores.

One good one for a meat crowd is to make your own pate out of braunschweiger.

8 ounces braunschweiger liver sausage

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon minced onion

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

salt and pepper to taste

If you don't do that I bet if you made simple ham salad people would rip into it. Stuffed mushrooms usually go fast, too.

I'll be at Tom's house eatin' a lard samich over the sink.

Decide to go with Grandma J's chocolate chip cookies. It takes a little time but worth it
