Cheap appetizer for a crowd - not dip

[Anonymous]

I need to bring an appetizer for a party this weekend. Dips are already covered so it needs to be something else. I need low cost ideas.

Meatballs. White pizza cut into small pieces.

Some kind of cheddar/bacon/bread bites. Toast bread, spread mayonnaise on toast, sprinkle with bacon bits and top with shredded cheddar or gruyere cheese. Broil till melted and brown. Cut into square inch pieces.

bag of pita chips and hummus

stuffed mushrooms - simple whole mushrooms, break out the stem, cook in the oven (face up) for 10 minutes or so, fill with little cubes of cheese, and cook for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. These are very popular and go fast.

This isn't too pricey but it takes a little work. The trick is going to a Hispanic market to buy the jalapeños--they usually have the smaller ones and better prices..

I do these a lot and cut the mozz balls in half to make it go a little farther.

Yes. We use sweet baby ray's BBQ and grape jelly, they always get gobbled up.

I have seen variations of this recipe and have always wanted to try it.

Just don't bring pasta salad. TOTALLY vulgar.

But seriously, what about a coucous or rice salad? or the dreaded pasta salad? or just a really great salad? potato salad?
