But I might eat it all before I get there!! Thanks!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/appetizer-recipe-for-a-crowd#post-671655 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 17:52:22 +0000 Sweet T 671655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Texas Caviar for a pot luck. It's easy and the recipe I have makes a lot. It's kind of like a bean salsa.</p> <p>2 cans black eyed peas<br /> 2 cans shoe peg corn<br /> 1 small tomato (or larger if you like), diced<br /> Green onion, thinly sliced<br /> Cilantro (just a little) finely chopped<br /> 1 package italian dressing mix, prepared according to package instructions</p> <p>Pour black eyed peas and corn into a colander. Rinse to get rid of any gravy from the peas. Pour mixture into a large bowl. Add other ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate over night and service with tortilla chips (I prefer Tostitos scoops).</p> <p>-You can use bottled Italian dressing but it doesn't taste as good. </p> <p>-I usually skip the green onion because I'm not a fan, but you can use as much or as little as you like.</p> <p>-You don't need very much cilantro at all. A little goes a long way with this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/appetizer-recipe-for-a-crowd#post-671654 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 17:50:52 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 671654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>how about something like a 5-layer dip with tortilla chips.. just layer refried beans, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and shredded cheese. no cooking involved, and cheap too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/appetizer-recipe-for-a-crowd#post-671652 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 17:50:40 +0000 OCmama 671652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trader Joes has those bite size appetizers you can bake. They have a few that are good.... many bake in the plastic tray it comes in and you can just transport it to your location like that and plate when you arrive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/appetizer-recipe-for-a-crowd#post-671642 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 17:43:45 +0000 Cara M. 17 671642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: is blue cheese dressing pasteurized? I guess I assumed it wasn't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/appetizer-recipe-for-a-crowd#post-671635 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 17:40:54 +0000 aprk 671635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cara M. 17: I've eaten soft cheeses while pregnant - just make sure they are pasteurized, which most sold in US grocery store are </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/appetizer-recipe-for-a-crowd#post-671629 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 17:36:36 +0000 Cara M. 17 671629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: It is SO GOOD! It's a huge amount and barely ever any left! I was practically drooling as I typed the recipe because I can't have blue cheese for eight. More. Months. Small price to pay but still...yum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/appetizer-recipe-for-a-crowd#post-671622 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 17:33:24 +0000 aprk 671622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cara M. 17: I was gonna suggest buffalo chicken dip too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/appetizer-recipe-for-a-crowd#post-671602 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 17:19:04 +0000 Cara M. 17 671602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>- 5 boneless skinless chicken breasts<br /> - 2ish cups chicken broth<br /> - 1 jar blue cheese (Marie's works well - the kind in your produce section)<br /> - 3 blocks cream cheese (allow to soften to room temp)<br /> - Frank's Red Hot (or other hot sauce of your choice)</p> <p>- Place chicken in a deep pot and cover with chicken broth. Let boil until fully cooked and it begins shredding<br /> - Remove chicken from pot and shred using a kitchen aid mixer or forks.<br /> - Mix shredded chicken with cream cheese and entire jar of blue cheese. Add hot sauce to taste.<br /> - Place chicken mix in a baking dish and bake at 350 for 45 minutes</p> <p>Best served with veggies or tortilla chips! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/appetizer-recipe-for-a-crowd#post-671573 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:50:58 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 671573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No cook or bake...Frozen appetizer pinwheels.

Needs to be simple enough to make (i have not been a big cook lately!) and travel well. I'm supposed to make enough for at least 20 people. </p> <p>Normally i live for apps but I'm drawing a blank! </p>
