Party Appetizers That Will Impress Without Stressing You Out: Simple and Delicious
These are simple to make and will impress anyone who comes over for a party.
They are all easy to whip up during the week, but have the taste that people will want to know how to make them.
1. Dill Pickle Dip
The ingredients for this dip are usually in my kitchen (and probably yours), and it only takes about 5 minutes to make!
It’s perfect for those last-minute guests that come over unexpectedly, or even if you just want something delicious to eat while entertaining.
It’s not your typical boring spinach dip.
You will have everyone asking for the recipe within minutes.
2. Deviled Eggs, My Way
I make my deviled eggs a little bit different than the traditional deviled egg recipe, and they taste fantastic!
It will take about 30 minutes from start to finish to make, so if you need to bring something to your next party, this is a great choice.
3. Chicken, Bacon and Cheddar Pinwheels
These tortilla roll-ups look sophisticated, but only take 15 minutes to prepare.
Because they are so popular, I make double batches when I make them.
Chicken, bacon and cheddar is a sure-fire combination that people will love!
4. Tortilla Pinwheels
Tortilla pinwheels are a good choice for parties since you can make them the night before!
Just slice them up when your guests arrive!
You only need cream cheese, a few mix-ins and tortillas.
They’ll look very nice and taste great!
5. Spicy Italian Pinwheels
Three types of meat and all of the flavours from an Italian sandwich rolled into a tortilla.
They’re a great way to feed a lot of people because they can be held in one hand.
6. 7 Layer Taco Dip
With about 20 minutes of prep time, this dip is perfect for when you need to feed a crowd without spending a lot of money or having any actual cooking experience.
7. Ham and Swiss Sliders
These are an easy way to feed a group.
You can make them all at once and bake them in one pan.
The butter mixture on top soaks into the rolls and makes them taste more expensive than they actually are.
8. Classic Stuffed Mushrooms
These are a great party appetizer because they look impressive, but they are very easy to make.
Their earthy flavour and filling make people think you spent a lot of time making them.
9. Slow Cooker Jalapeño Popper Corn Dip
This dip is made in the slow cooker and will feed a lot of people.
It takes about two hours in the slow cooker, but most of that is hands-off time while you prep other things.
10. Spicy Mexican Street Corn Dip
If you like elote (Mexican street corn), you’re going to love this dip.
It’s much easier to eat at a party than corn on the cob.
It has all the hot and cheesy goodness, but with some personality instead of a run of the mill buffalo chicken dip.
11. Sloppy Joe Potato Skins
Crispy potato skins filled with homemade sloppy joe meat and melted cheddar cheese.
Perfect for when you want comfort food that can be eaten as finger food.
The best of both worlds.
12. Poblano and Corn Queso
This queso is much better than the store bought kind.
You control how spicy it is.
The poblanos give it a smoky kick, but not too much.
Once people eat it, they’ll keep coming back for more.
13. Bacon-Wrapped Scallops with Sriracha Aioli
These are quite a bit better than the frozen ones from Costco.
The soy-orange marinade helps to keep the scallops from drying out, while the sriracha aioli gives them some heat but not too much.
