At Christmas my family always makes sausage balls with sausage, shredded cheese, and Bisquick. It's something I grew up with my mom making and we kept it up. They're delicious!

Same. There is something about the saltiness of canned green beans. I made a delicious bean salad that has also types of canned beans. So good. So much sodium. But so good.

I also love that snack made with saltines, butter, and chocolate all melted together in the oven. My friend calls is "trashy toffee" but I know there is another name for it (in jest, she makes it for several different get togethers a year).

Lipton onion soup dip is a staple in our house. I make it for pretty much every gathering and it gets eaten right up. But it has to be served with Cape Cod chips or similar kettle chips.

Pigs in a blanket. I don't care how low class or trashy some may see these but people from kids to grandparents seem to love them and I don't think I've ever seen any left over. I'm not making them this year and I'm having second thoughts.

Tater tots


YUM!

I’ll add my weird stuff—basically I am stuck in an auberge in the 1970’s:
- Bavarois (an old French dessert of gelatin (!), whipped cream and custard, “inspired by Bavaria”)
- Coquille St Jacques, I mean it’s seafood with a cheese cream sauce served in a clamshell, why is everyone sneering and/or gagging
- Dry sherry in the tiny glass
- Grand marnier or a cognac after dinner

Also:
Eel. I love it and you’ll never tell me anything different
