Appetizers recipes

Appetizers are the recipes that disappear first, so these are written to be easy to make ahead and easy to serve. Think warm, cheesy dips, slow-cooker sausage bites, crescent bakes and crunchy snack mixes you can stir together in minutes. The servings scaler on each recipe makes it simple to double a batch for game day or a holiday spread. When a hot dip sits out on a buffet, keep it at 140°F (60°C) or above, or set it out in small batches and refill it from the kitchen. Every recipe lists its prep and total time, so you can plan the oven around the rest of the menu.
