Super Bowl appetizers
The meatballs come together quickly, bake up nicely and can sit at-the-ready in the crockpot as long as necessary.
They taste pretty good, too, said Mather.
Mather shared four Super Bowl appetizer recipes at the Pleasant Grove Macey's Little Theater class recently.
"You can buy them in bulk at the store and put a sauce on top but these are so much better," said Mather. "I recommend baking them on parchment paper and using a cookie scoop so you get uniform-size meatballs that cook uniformly. I also use extra-lean meat so they only shrink slightly, and they're not greasy. You can also use ground turkey or sausage."
Be sure to measure the canned milk so the meatballs aren't soupy and if needed, make the meatballs ahead and freeze. Then simply pop them into the sauce and warm.
The other recipes; Chili Cheese Dip, Spanish Bacon Dip and Famous Queso Dip, can all be heated in the microwave as well as baked in a conventional oven.
Each is easy and tasty.
