Need a new idea for an New Years Appetizer

Steve, I'm seeing 7 + cups of ingredients for 6 english muffins. Is that really the amount of filling per muffin?

Love these!!

Devonshire Tidbits

6 English muffins
1 1/2 c. green onions, finely chopped
1 1/2 c. black & green olives, finely chopped
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 c. good quality mayonnaise
3 c. sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded

1. Split English muffins into halves.

2. Mix ingredients in order given and spread thickly on muffin halves.

3. Cut each muffin half into 4 pie shaped pieces. Freeze on cookie sheet until hard. Store in plastic bag.

4. Bake frozen in 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes.

The great thing about these is that you bake them frozen and you can always keep them on hand in the freezer for unexpected company. A variation can be made by substituting crab meat for the olives.

Marsha,
Mini muffin pan, your favorite corn bread recipe and some sliced up hot dogs. You might want to eat a pan as testers before sharing them with anyone.

Scottiemom,
I made the Olive Cheese balls yesterday. I used exact measurements for everything in the recipe. I was careful to use only 1 tsp. of dough for each olive, and instead of 48, I got 65 of those little morsels! Perhaps the difference was because I bought an 8 oz. block of very sharp cheddar and shredded it myself. Store-packaged cheese may say it contains 2 cups of shredded cheddar, but I think it's less than 8 oz. And that must have made the difference in volume. They are good, but very labor intensive.

I made them for New Years as well. I don't ever measure the dough, but I use as little dough as possible. I got 84 out of my single batch. I freeze part and when we want a snack, I take a few out and bake them. I, too, use an 8 oz pack and make DH shred it for me. The more cheese you use, the better. I have often thought about just rolling out the dough and cutting it and baking it as crackers. It is a bit labor intensive, but can be done ahead and frozen. I have done it so many years, I can crank them out pretty quickly.

Easiest ever meatballs

One bag of 1/2 oz frozen meatballs
One large bottle of Bullseye bbq sauce

Throw it all in crockpot, turn on high until cover is warm turn to low for 3 or more hours, if you need them quick high for 1.5-2 hours.

Never bring any home always one of the first things gone.
