What's your super-easy, throw-and-go party food?
 

Just looking for ideas. Mine is Li'l Smokies and barbecue sauce in the slow cooker, usually with Club Crackers. They always get devoured.

Chips.

/thread.

crock pot buffalo chicken dip and tortilla chips

3 blocks cream cheese, 2 cans hot Rotel, 1 lb ground sausage. Heat and serve with tortilla chips. You’re welcome.

FYP

You have to cook the sausage, right? That seems like a lot of work right now.

Au gratin potatoes, served on a sheet pan

And FYP

My wife likes to throw together a mix of pretzels, Snyder's cheddar cheese pretzel pieces, Goldfish, White Cheddar Cheez-Its and crunchy Cheetos. They always get devoured.

Same. Jimmy Deans hot breakfast sausage and Velveeta. If I have cream cheese on hand I'll throw it in.

Yep. My recipe is "Lay's". I think that offers a better presentation than Pringles.

Definitely more work than I'm inclined.

Ruffles > Lays.

Tim’s jalapeños potato chip > everything else

Aldi's French onion dip and a assortment of veggies is good.
Aldis FO dip rocks

Never seen them, but generally I prefer potato-chip-flavored potato chips. Maybe nacho cheese. Others, not so much.

Those fries are nasty. They have to be fresh to fly

I REALLY fixed both your posts

Anybody else waiting to see what cooper barrett says?

Dinny

But... the ketchup fountain!

I've picked up a pizza on the way to a get together. Cut in squares.

This is a truth.

Also if you have deer or summer sausage, spread cream cheese on it and top it with a jalapeño

No

Box of crackers

Block of cream cheese, jar of jalapeño jelly and a box of wheat thins

If its a classy get together.

The hardest part is getting Andy Reid to show up

Bag of weed and bag of crunchy Cheetos.

I can find Cheetos. Where do you buy weed?

Wife brought these frozen strombolis home the other day - http://www.leonettisstromboli.com/

Steak and cheese and pepperoni and cheese. We likey. I'm thinking after microwaving them I'll drop them in a frying pan with some olive oil to crisp them up.

If crock pot is in play, I like to get the Curley's pulled pork un-sauced, get a bottle of Gates, or Bryant's sweet sauce, or whatever you like, put that in a crock pot for a couple hours, get some egg buns or onion buns (slider sized) and that works pretty well.

Cowboy stew is good too: Ground beef, corn, red beans, sliced potatoes, mushrooms, seasonings....yeah buddy.

Its tough to beat Rotel dip, with or without the sausage

I thought you liked us, man? No need for name-calling.

In Independence?

What % of your day do you spend thinking about food? Just out of curiosity

I don't know. It's a hobby and a passion.

In Independence, your only option is to trade some meth for it...

It's all good! I can just tell it's defenitely something you're passionate about.

Cream cheese and salsa mix. Super easy to make and good.

I don't entertain at all these days, bud.

Crab dip spread on a ritz cracker with a dab of cocktail sauce and topped with a sauteed shrimp.


It's not Rotel, but it's still pretty easy and cheap.

I'll cop to being the person that brings pita chips and hummus. Hummus is cheap and easy to make and you can do variations with roasted red pepper, garlic, whatever really. Plus all the wives and girlfriends want to **** you for not bringing something that's going to make them feel fat for eating around friends or some shit that's likely to drip all over them. So that's a plus.

Bag of nacho cheese Doritos and a tub of Daisy sour cream.

Alternate a can of Planters cheese balls.

Hummus is great, nothing wrong with that at all

I think so too, but I always seem to bring a lot of it back home. LOL, I took some to work one time for a food day and it was getting no play. So I made a "bean dip" sign and put it in front and it got decimated.

They don't make Planters cheese balls anymore, you have to buy that giant tub of UTZ's.

Yep, damn shame too. Utz is aight, but a step below, imo.

Have never made it, but have bought a couple different varieties of Sabra and really liked both... I'd go for it over bean dip every time

I like Sabra a lot. I think the biggest challenge of making hummus at home is having the Tahini on hand, but once you do it lasts several batches. I'm a chips and dip, grab and smash fiend, so making my own hummus at home and working in some veg as dippers has gone a long way in changing up my diet over the years.

Cream Cheese, black olives, scallions, hot pepper (fine dice) lemon juice herbs mixed up and rolled in Danish ham slices and sliced like pinrolls.

Served at room temperature, Fast, tasty, and gone in a flash!

This is our go-to as well for parties and people love it.

Can mix with chips, crackers and even put on vegetables.

Stuff is great!

If entertaining at home pizza rolls

Lil smokies in grape jelly and bbq sauce never get old. I will destroy a platter of cream cheese pickle and ham pinwheels. Damn I love those things.

If I have some time the wife has a cheese ball recipe that I love. Has green pepper and pineapple in the mix with some other stuff aside from the cream cheese and shredded cheese topping. It's so good.

Also just dumping a jar of habanero strawberry jelly over a block of softened cream cheese and serving with pretzel crackers is great.

Can you tell I like cream cheese?

Saltines, sardines and pickle relish platter. Big hit!

Lil smokies wrapped in bacon and dipped in brown sugar. Pop them in the oven until bacon is cooked. Always a hit!

Yeah guess thats why I havnt seen them around. I have had the utz and they work but have a complete different texture kinda more crunch than puff.

If it turns my fingers orange, I don't eat it.

Canned Jalapeño's stuffed with cheese wrapped in bacon. Cook in oven at 350 for 20 mins. It's always a party favorite. Poke each one with a tooth pick for easy eating.

For the holidays try jellied cranberries and heinz chili sauce

Or Taco seasoning

Wing dip. Takes about 15 minutes to prep, then throw it in the oven til bubbly. Doesn't take a whole lot of effort.

Most of these are way too much work to qualify as "super easy".

That reminds me of something my wife used to make, haven't had it in a long time.

Take a block of cream cheese and spread it out a bit on a plate. Empty a packet or two of those little cocktail shrimp you find near the canned tuna and then dump cocktail sauce over the top of it all. Serve with crackers for dipping.

It's a whole lot better than it sounds. Very simple to prepare and gets gobbled up.

Yes, that one is simple and delicious. Hardest part is remembering to take the cream cheese out of the fridge beforehand so it is easier to spread.

Right, very good point there.

Take it out, cut it into pieces. Several small pieces soften faster than one big hunk.

Just a thought.

My go to?

"Hey...brideowanian, you sexy sonnabitch. Someone accidentally invited me to go with you to an event. You need to make something. I'll grab a box of beer that you won't drink. Thanks"
