Lightbulb Party Appetizers (Low Cost)

I have several Recipe's that my mother used to use for low cost party treats. Lets see how many are out there.

1st one from me will Be Sausage Biscuits.

I have tried many peoples and this is the best way I have found to make them.
Some have been Good and a lot have been really bad.


KY Sausage Biscuits

Ingredients:
1lb of Sharp Cheddar Cheese (Melted)
1lb Sausage (Hot) Uncooked
4 Cups of Bisquick


Preparation:
In a large mixing bowl put the Bisquick and Sausage. I like Jimmy Deans but any decent brand is OK. The Sausage is fresh and UNCOOKED. Hand mix a little the two ingredients and form a depression in the middle of the mixture.

Pour the melted Cheese into the depression and by hand start folding the mixture until it is all one well mixed ball. It will at this point be really pliable and a yellowish color. Make sure that all of the Bisquick is totally mixed in and no dry points in the mix. This is a Key point in the preparation.

Use Nonstick Cookie sheets and make small balls of the mixture (Approx 1" to 1 1/2" in diameter) Place them on the cookie sheet with about 1" between each ball.

PREHEAT the oven to 400.

As you fill the 1st cookie sheet place it in the oven for 10-12 min. Cook until the top is just starting to brown. The oils and fat in the mixture will mix and keep them from sticking.

When the 1st tray is done put in the 2nd. Depending on the size of the tray you will make 2-3 trays with this recipe.

NOTE: Melt the cheese in a double boiler to keep it from burning.

Result is a Hot and spicy biscuit that is great for night time parties. They are best served fresh and hot. They are OK to reheat in a microwave the next day but not as good. Do not try to freeze them as they will be hard as a rock. You can only do this as a fresh batter. It takes me 10 min to prepare the dough and then cook.

Lets see what everyone else makes for Team/Group partys.

As you didn't mention "diet" and "cholesterol",,,

Take a two(2) lb block of Vel-Veeta processed cheese, dice it into 1 inch chunks, put in a glass baking dish, add a mess of drained, seeded & sliced jalapeonos, and warm it up in the Micro-wave until it is soft, not boiling.

Add one(1) large(24 oz) bottle or jar of good Salsa(not from NYC). Stir until mixed, at which time it may need to be re-warmed, again don't let boil.

Serve with you favorite chips..

IF,, I say IF,, you have any left-overs, stick'm in the fridge, re-warm next day or week-end- or as required..

If this party is for inlaws,, you may substude one or two Scotch-Bonnet (capsicum chinense) peppers for of the jalapenos.....

As you know if it taste good it probably is not a diet dish. Eat in moderation is the key to Diet and other health needs.

Good dish.....

Party Dogs/Sausages

Party Dogs/Sausages Western KY Style


1 jar 16oz Apple Jelly
1 jar 16oz Yellow Mustard
Kitchen Bouquet (To Color)
Hotdogs (2pks)
Cocktail Weiners (amount wanted)
Small Sausages (amount wanted)

Prep:
Place into a pot the Apple jelly and Mustard (Equal parts. If you need more just make them equal parts). Slow heat and stir constantly in a heavy bottom pot. As the mixture heats up you will smell the pungent vapors and the mixture will start to look like BABY S*&t. As it first Boils Slowly (Slowley) you add a few drops of Kitchen Bouquet to give it a Tan to Brownish color so it does not look like a fresh diaper. (Moms words not mine)

When it is boiling slowly add the cut up hotdogs and sausages/Weiners etc. Slow cook covered for at least an hour. Stir periodically to keep it from sticking. When the Hotdogs look well cooked and have taken on some of the color of the sause they are ready to eat. I normally transfer this to a Crock Pot after 1 hour and continue to cook it for at least 1hour or until the party is starting. Basically the more you cook it the better they get.

Place the crockpot out on a table. Serve with Tooth Picks, Plates and spoons. People can scoop out some on a plate and use tooth picks to eat them.

Note: I also like to use Polish Sausage or Kelbasa cut in small slices. As the mixture cooks the juices for the meet and sause mix and gives it all a heavenly taste. Yes it is not a Diet Dish eithor. Hell none of mine are.

SF_BHT,

I check with the Misses,, my neighbor makes your meat-balls,, I love'm..

Please excuse this bi-polar dyslexic,, neither of us can spell in context... ALthough I am correct more often than he is...

My knowledge of chilies is limited,, but I have local friends that relish bringing "FIRE" laden gifts to parties.

I learned about the Scotch Bonnet from a neighbor who hails from St Maarten, the Dutch side, makes a very fiery peanut curry dip for chicken kababs..

The Scotch Bonnet is the same as a Habanero,, Mucho Hot...

The Wossie Jalapeño peppers have a heat rating of 2,500 to 8,000, while the Scotch Bonnets have a heat rating of 150,000–325,000 Scoville Units.

Do the math, between 30-40 times more heat...

We actually had a person (to drunk for his own good) grab a bonnet, used as the trimmings, off the table and gobble the dam thing whole..

At 3AM, we took him the the ER,, thought it was a major hart attack,, had his stomach pumped,, not pretty,, but will make a good story for his grand kids, when they get older...

Lightbulb Party "Hot" Dogs

Party "Hot" Dogs

Cooking time: 40 minutes (minimum time)

Cast Iron Skillet
1-2 cans of Beer "Any old basic beer (Budweiser)
4 PKG All Beef Hot dogs
1 bottles of Louisiana Hot Sauce (other hot sauces do not make as good a mixture)

Prep:
Cut all Hot dogs into into 1" pieces.
Put the Beer and Hot Sauce into Skillet. Mix as you heat the mixture up to a boil. Add all the Hot dogs and slow cook until all the liquid is gone and the Hot dogs are looking like prunes. The bottom of the skillet will have a thick sause that needs to coat the Hot Dogs prior to removing.

Remove and eat with Toothpicks. Nice and Hot and very low budget for an addition to a party table. If you have a hotplate they are best kept warm.

Note: if you have a clogged up head this will clear it up as you cook the mixture down.

Thought I fixed that.. Kitchen Bouquet. Very key part of the process. If not it could look really bad. Also adds to the flavor slightly.

RL, I think you are losing it chasing that sign! The above recipe you posted on 03.06.05 @ 2100hrs. It differs a a bit, but I assume that is due to the last three years of obsessive quality control disorder issues and recipe refinement (searching for the right can of beans). The dicision must be wrought with night sweats over the endless selection of can beans...dicisions, decisions; what is one to do?

RL's Seven Layer Dip.

1 Can Refried Beans
1 Can Black Beans, drained
1 Medium Jar of Salsa
Finely Shredded Cheddar Cheese (or Cheddar-Jack Blend)
2 Small Cans of Sliced Ripe Black Olives, drained
Onion Powder
1 Tub Guacamole (ideally use fresh, but I just buy it at the store)
1 Tub Sour Cream

Take a medium lasagna dish and spray it with a light layer of Pam

Spread the refried beans onto the bottom of the pan
Layer the black beans next
Sprinkle onion powder generously on black beans
Layer the salsa next
Layer the olives next
Cover with cheese

Bake in oven at 350 degrees until heated through, about 20 minutes

Layer sour cream next
Layer guacamole next

Serve with your favorite tortilla chips
Use hot plate to keep warm if you have one
1.
