What is your favorite party appetizer? Looking for ideas for a party I'm having. Recipes would be appreciated!

Would like it to be relatively easy, nothing that requires buying special cooking utensils. I have the basics, but nothing fancy. I'm looking to make several items, so the more time efficient (and delicious) the better! Thanks for your help.What is your favorite party appetizer? Looking for ideas for a party I'm having.

i love the lil smokies wrapped in bacon, coated in brown sugar and baked in the oven for about an hour on 300. they are sooo tasty!!! i also love deviled eggs, shrimp cocktail, and veggies with ranch dip.
Needed:





Wonton Wraps


Hamburger


Sweet onion


Ranch Dressing mix


Grated Cheddar Cheese





Take the Wonton wraps and place them in a muffin tin to pre-bake and make a small bowl. You can find them in the produce section of the store, usually hanging. AS package has 60 and I can make 48 of these with two pounds of hamburger meat.





Spread these little bowls on a cookie sheet.





Brown your 2 pounds of hamburger meat and a sweet chopped onion, drain. Add two packages of Ranch Dressing Mix (dry) and stir in well. Spoon into the pre-baked bowls and top with grated cheddar cheese. Place back in the oven to allow the cheese to melt.








Yoiu can top these with salsa, sour cream, chopped green onions, tomatoes or whatever you desire.
my favorite easy to make appetizers are


scallops wrapped in bacon with spicy sauce and deviled eggs





the scallops are baked at 400 degrees with the bacon wrapped around it secured with a toothpick


the sauce is mayo, lime, cilantro, and a little siriancha chili all TT
I love steak bruchetta





1 French baguette sliced in 1/2 inch slices


medium rare beef tenderloin--let stand at room temp and slice thinly--keep covered so it stays moist


roasted red peppers, sliced into 1/4 inch ribbons


Gruyerre cheese, grated or sliced thinly


balsamic vinegar, reduced by 1/3





Lightly toast baguette slices on cookie sheet.


top with cheese





Cover pan with waxed paper and set everything aside until ready to serve.





Bake in 375 degree oven until cheese is just melted. Arrange meat on top of hot cheese. Top with red peppers and drizzle vinegar over toasts. Arrange on a tray atop a bed of watercress or fancy baby lettuce.
This is the best free cooking E-book I've found, I'm sure you can find what you're looking for in it.
wow the bacon-wrapped tater-tots sound pretty good, you should give that a try! This is my signature party appetizer, everyone raves and asks for the recipe, which i have to give credit to my sister-in-law Heather:





Combine in bowl:





2 pkgs cream chz.(8 oz.)


1 bunch green onions sliced


small can chopped black olives


1 jar dried beef, chopped finely


8 oz. pkg fresh mushrooms (or sm.jar) chopped finely chopped


Season liberally with garlic powder, accent, and cavender's





Form into a ball and refrigerate 'til ready to serve. Serve on crackers. Ritz are good.
corn dip!!


SO EASY and TASTES GREAT!





LARGE CONTAINER OF SOUR CREAM


BIG BAG OF SHRED CHEDDAR CHEESE


CAN OF MEXICAN CORN


SMALL CAN OF GREEN CHILES





MIX IT ALL TOGETHER AND GRAB A BAG OF FRITOS OR OTHER CHIPS AND VOILA!
Pinwheels are good, and easy. Buy a package of tortillas, and a spicy cream cheese, and either a thinly sliced ham or turkey. Spread cream cheese on tortilla, add meat, and roll. Then slice into pinwheels. They are very good. Deviled eggs are good, mini meatballs, and fruit salad.
Here is an article I wrote with a great one and it is sooo easy

Bacon roll-ups.





Ingrediants:


Cheap white bread. (no grains or anything)


Bacon


Cream Cheese


toothpicks





Utensils:


Rolling pin


seraded knife


Butter knife





Directions:


Take five pieces of bread one on top of the other


Cut all crust off


Flatten the bread with rolling pin one at a time.


Spread cream cheese on


Cut bread in halves


Roll up into pinwheel type things


Cut bacon strips in thirds


Wrap around the roll-ups then stick a tooth pick in


Put on a baking sheet


Cook at 350F


10 min on each side *Note whatever side you put them on the side on the pan cooks first* Or until golden brown.











These freeze well so if you make them before the party you can put them in the freezer so when the party day comes you can take them out and cook them. Take them out of the freezer about 3 or 4 hours before so they can defrost! Enjoy!!!
My two favorites are ham roll ups and bacon wrapped tater tots.


For the ham roll ups you spread a piece of danish ham with either regular or flavored cream cheese and roll up. Slice into pinwheels and serve with crackers.


For the bacon wrapped tots, you take a slice of bacon and cut into about 3 pieces. Wrap the raw bacon around a tater tot that has been sitting at room temp long enough to get a toothpick into it without snapping and secure with a tooth pick. Bake in a 375 degree oven until bacon is crisp and tater tot is cooked through. Drain on paper towels and then serve immediately. This is the ultimate finger food.
