Appetizers are my favorite part of holiday parties. My ideal meal is just a bunch of apps. Rounding up all my favorites below!
Pizza Ryes
My mom makes these for our family Christmas party every year. They’re a good one to prep ahead and freeze!
Mini Philly Cheese “Steak” Sliders
I love a slider! Baked on Hawaiian rolls, you could also prep these ahead of time and throw in the oven when you’re ready to serve.
Pimento Cheese Sausage Balls
A riff on the classic holiday appetizer.
Boursin Spinach Dip
Classic spinach dip even better.
Green Chili Jam Cheesy Sausage Cups
One of my most popular recipes, these little appetizer cups are addictive! If you can’t find the green chili jam (you should, it’s so good!) you can sub pepper jelly.
Sweet Chili Meatballs
Another family favorite recipes is meatballs. I mix it up a bit by adding sweet chili sauce. These are great for the crockpot!
Cheesy Sausage Squares
Probably my most popular recipe ever. These are great for brunch or as an appetizer. I make them on Christmas morning.
Charcuterwreath
Festive for the holidays!
Sister Schubert’s Sausage Rolls
Sister stopped making them, so I had to make my own!
Baked Pimento Cheese
A riff on pimento cheese, but baked!
Trader Joe’s Copy-Cat Step Up to the Bar Snack Mix
I’m obsessed with this snack mix that only comes out at the holidays at Trader Joe’s. It always runs out, so I made my own! Put it in a few bowls around the house when you’re having people over. We also love to bag this up as a gift for friends and neighbors.
Sausage Cheddar Pinwheels
An OG recipe, these pinwheels only take three ingredients and are a hit at parties.
Spinach Feta Pinwheels
Or a pinwheel version of spanakopita.
Sausage Artichoke Dip
How do you make artichoke dip better? Add sausage!
Cheesy Mini Biscuit Bombs
Essentially rotel dip baked inside biscuit dough. No brainer.
