Something that's quick to make for about 50 people.Dose anyone know any quick and easy appetizer recipes?
These recipes are super easy and is enough to feed 50 + people:

Mix ingredients well. Roll into balls and place on baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.





Taco Roll Ups

24 ounces cream cheese, softened


24 ounces picante sauce


3 package large flour tortillas


Combine first 3 ingredients with electric mixer. Evenly divide and spread mixture on tortillas, roll up.





Place rolled tortillas on cutting board, close together with seams down, and using electric knife, slice into 1/2 pieces.





Arrange pieces on serving platter with an extra bowl of picante sauce for dipping.Dose anyone know any quick and easy appetizer recipes?
Yes I do!


You can take the largest and thinnest tortillas you can find. Smear it with cream cheese (you can add seasoning of your liking)


such as cream cheese with diced green chiles, think sliced green onions,


and layer thin sliced turkey or lunch meats of your choice, you can put lettuce and diced drained well tomatoes if you like.


The idea is to roll it up really tight, roll in celephane and refrigerate to get it all to stick together and slice into pinwheel mini sandwhiches. You can make with avacado, imitation crab, anything you like.


Cream cheese is used as it holds up better than mayo or thin dressing, and sticks better.


You can make pesto pizzas to cut up. Buy Bobili and cover with pesto and parmesan cheese, simply bake and slice up.





Melt a large pkg of cheese, and add 2 cans of Hormel beanless chili, heat and stir constantly. Serve warm with french bread cut into hunks.





Bacon wrapped whole water chesnuts, tooth pick cut bacon around the chesnut and drizzle or serve sweet and sour sauce with it.





Mini fruit shish kabobs. Buy the larger plastic picks, put pineapple chunks, marichino cherryes, mandrin oranges or anything you can skewer.





Take a package of cream cheese put it on a plate, and pour shrimp cocktail over it serve with crackers, and put a small knife with it. You can also use the red pepper jelly or green pepper jelly with this.





Its really easy and looks nice to buy small hunks of diferent cheeses and a variety of crackers. Serve on a mirror, slab of granite. Although common your choice of cheeses and the serving method is what makes it unique. A slicer or small knife for cutting. Colorful washed and dried grapes, apple slices look nice on this platter also.





One of the biggest hits at parties I have catered is. Baked Brie.


Buy a wheel or half wheel of mid to high priced Brie. Leave the skin on if it has skin, most do. Buy in the frozen section, puff pastry. Thaw and lay out on a board, put on the cheese and pull up the sides and pinch shut. Brush with egg yolk and bake at about 350, start watching the pastry after 15 mins, this is suppose to ooze out once cut. Serve with all kinds of thick crackers and again a small knife is needed. This is a great holiday treat!


Presentation can make the simplest foods more elegant. Cover platters with washed and dried green leaf lettuce adds alot to the looks, or colorful kale works well too.
