Cheap appetizer for a crowd - not dip

[Anonymous]

Have always wanted to try this. Think I would use cream cheese though. I bet it's so good!

So good!

This sounds so weird I'm gonna try it. What's the ratio of BBQ sauce to grape jelly?

I agree... Very odd. My interest has been piqued.

NP. I think it's a Maryland thing.

I'm a transplant and had never heard of it before. It's ok, not great IMO.

I grew up with this as a standard app, and I'm from Chicago

I grew up in Buffalo and it was standard there as well. I always thought it was Polish.

One thing I love to make that always gets gobbled up is Stromboli made with Pillsbury pizza dough (the kind in the tube- sold near the crescent rolls in the refrigerated section)

Preheat the oven to whatever the tube says for pizza.

Spread the dough out on a greased cookie sheet.

Line dough with filling combo of your choice (I typically do turkey pepperoni, provolone, and mozzarella, though occasionally I replace the pepperoni with Italian sausage or omit meat altogether and use a combo of roasted / jarred peppers instead)

Fold up the sides, leaving some holes for steam to escape (like a giant calzone). Sprinkle with Italian herbs.

Bake for 20-25 mins (until golden). Slice. Brought it to work the other day and two loaves were eaten in about 5 mins.

Frozen samosas from an Indian grocery store. Needs to be put in an oven. You can also defrost and deep fry. So good.

Ling Ling pot stickers and Nancy quiche from Costco.

I've done these and they are always well received:

I've also subbed mushrooms for chicken if you want to make it vegetarian.

I thought it originated with midwestern mennonites and then spread to other midwesterners.

Are you joking, or do you legitimately think Mennonites back in the 1950s originated a recipe involving two bottled ingredients? I can't even tell anymore.

I thought about that, but PW has awesome appetizers and recipes that are good to make for a crowd. I also like her cheesy olive bread and stuffed mushrooms.


So what did you make, OP?

Not joking-considering the amount of mini marshmallows and jello Mennonites eat, I don't think it's crazy to think that they use some packaged foods in their cooking. It's also possible to use homemade jelly and sauce. But maybe I just know a different crowd of Mennonites.

What a low brow crowd we have here.

You do realize that you're the nutter bringing up an unrelated thread, right?

Salad most certainly can be an appetizer. Put small spoonfuls into mini filo shells. People gobble them up.
