Party holdem poker

Stick with finger foods for a card party. Here are my recipes that I like for parties.
Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
(I don’t have a picture of this one.)
These are the easiest and yummiest appetizers. I make this all the time and it’s so good. I get requested to make these at all our parties. .
Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
1/2 pound ground pork sausage (I chop mine up in the food processor so it’s very fine)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, stems removed
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350.
Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain and transfer to a medium bowl.
Blend cream cheese with the sausage. Stuff mushroom caps with the cream cheese and sausage mixture.
Arrange stuffed mushroom caps on a medium baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes and then put under the broiler for 2 minutes to brown.
I added the following changes to the recipe.
I fry up garlic with my sausage and add onion powder to the mixture.
I also melt some butter and mix it with seasoned bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese. I then take the mushrooms once filled and dip it into the bread crumbs.

Classic Pigs in a Blanket

People dive into a fruit plate with some fruit dip. I had a 3 melon and pineapple stick tray, I put it together myself and bought the dip off the shelf in the produce section.There were 6 of us at the party, and there was less than a cup of fruit left. It was a huge deep divided bowl of fruit.
Kraft”s website has a Tuscan cheese spread that looks great, it has sour cream, cream cheese , onions and black olives and sun dried tomatoes .
I have found several appetizers on allrecipes that I want to try.
Try the Velveeta website, there is one with chillies, spinach, Rotel canned chillies and tomato, and bacon.
And with Velveeta you can dump in a can of your fave chili or some salsa, and melt it, serve with appropriate chips.
Try two soft 8 oz pkgs of Philly, one jar of Kraft Old English cheese spread, 8 oz of Cheez Whiz, and a 1/2 tsp each of garlic and onion powder, throw it all in the mixer and blend until it is all incorporated, and put it is a plastic lidded storage bowl over night. This one is my fave, and I have learned to put in more garlic powder, but it reeks of it, so don’t get heavy handed the first time you make it. Serve with Ritz crackers
Either Friday’s or the store brand of spinach artichoke cheese dip is wonderful, try it on garlic toast slices, I just use the stuff in a box in the frozen food section that is already cut in slices.
Crab cakes with a sauce would be yum, just some cold shrimp with cocktail sauce is always a treat for me.

Grape jelly meatballs
1 bag of frozen cocktail meatballs
1 8oz jar of grape jelly
1 bottle of chili sauce
Add all ingredients to a crock pot. When meatballs are warm, leave the crock pot on low.
Spinach dip in round bread. The recipe is on back of the Knorr Vegetable dip package
Flautas
1 1/2 pound of cooked chicken shredded or chopped in small pieces
1 jar of picante
2 to 3 dozen corn shells
oil
Mix the chicken and 1/2 jar of the picante. Heat oil and fry the corn shells just to warm them. Put 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoon on each corn shell and roll up tightly. Cut the flauta in half and put on a baking sheet. Have oven at 400 degrees. Cook them 15 minutes or until crunchy. Serve with picante and sour cream.

Chicken wing’s.
Sandwhiches cut into four slices so there smaller.
Taco’s.
You can get meatball’s and put toothpicks in them so it makes them look fancy.
Crackers with ham and cheeze on them or whatever you prefer.
Shishkibob’s. with different meat’s and such.
