1 bottle (16-ounce) catalina salad dressing
1 cup orange marmalade

Place frozen meatballs in the insert of a slow cooker. In a bowl, stir to combine the remaining ingredients. Pour over meatballs and stir to coat. Cook on high setting for 2 to 3 hours.

sea-nile - Nic in KC does the Buffalo Chicken dip in the crock pot.

Check out page 14 of the Food Porn thread.

Sea-nile, I do indeed use the crockpot for the buffalo dip. I also love just putting chicken breasts in the crockpot with 1 pkg taco seasoning or you own and a cup of salsa. It's great inside a tortilla or as a nacho topping.

I think I'll just go to Augie's house for his nachos. They sound sooo good and it'll be warm there!

I have no idea what we are fixing for Sunday. I have to decide on appetizers for a Saturday night card game first!

Oops! - should read 1 cup Jack Daniel's BBQ sauce - but you can use any sauce you like.

If I don't have a batch of my homemade #5 sauce handy I use Baby Ray's or KC Masterpiece.

I'm making Cheese Steak Egg Rolls! Might be interesting...

I want that recipe, please!

Sure! I haven't tried them yet, but they do sound good!

1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups sliced onions and red peppers
1/4 cup + 3 tbsp steak marinade of your choice (I'll be using a store bought one, no time to make my own!)
21 egg roll wrappers
21 slices of cheese (I'm using provolone)

Brown the steak, drain. Add onions and peppers to same skillet and cook until tender. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1/4 cup marinade. Cook until thickened.

Top each egg roll wrapper with one slice cheese and 2 tbsp of the steak mixture. Brush edges of wrapper with water, and roll tightly to make an egg roll shape.

Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray, arrange egg rolls seam side down on sheet, and spray tops with cooking spray. Bake at 425 until golden (turning over half way through).

For dip: Combine 1 cup real mayo, 1/4 cup sour cream, and the remaining 3 tbsp of steak marinade.

Those egg rolls sounds awesome, I have a similar recipe that uses crescent rolls.[/quote]

Augie, your menu sounds really good.

I am still looking for ideas for my party. I know part of it is that I am bummed out about having jury duty the next day, but I also am dealing with SO MANY dietary restrictions! I can’t do anything about it because most of the restrictions are because John’s parents are coming. It’s shaping the menu for everyone--I have to respect their needs/choices for most of what I am serving so that they have lots of options and feel welcomed. They don’t come often so...as Coach Belichick would say, “It is what it is.”

Here is what I am dealing with from them: Nothing spicy. At all. To give you an idea, one year I made the meatwich sandwich that I showed in the food porn thread recently and that was too spicy for them. No pork, duck, or veal. No poultry except for white meat. No seafood except for shrimp. No beef unless cooked to well done. No nuts. No garlic. No coconut. No onions. No eggplant. No beans. No cruciferous vegetables. No cheese other than mild ones like cheddar and mozzarella, etc….

Here is the menu so far:

Buffalo chicken dip (they won’t eat this one)
Guacamole two ways (my regular recipe and a batch minus the jalepeno and cilantro for them)
Lemon chicken skewers with peanut sauce (on the side for dipping since they don’t do nuts)
A very mild queso dip using asadero cheese and a seeded poblano instead of jalepenos (I’ve made this for them before and they like it)
Spinach artichoke dip (no added hot sauce)
Something with shrimp…don’t know what yet.

I need about three more things and I am out of ideas!

[RickG]

Liamsaunt, good luck with that. It really kills the creativity.

We are working on a ski weekend dinner for 14, with three varieties of vegetarian and a shellfish allergy. I'm tired of cooking Indian for that gang. But, no spicey, garlic or onions?!!

Christine and I are thinking about cooking Korean this time around. We can go with foods that people had not thought to object to. Jellyfish salad and Cheong Guk Jang!

Cheers, RickG

[Xislandgirl]

I guess we are all having guest food issues.
I wated to make portabello's stuffed with crabmeat but with a seafood allergy and 2 that hate mushrooms, I will save that for another party.

So the menu so far:

Becky's Veggie Sandwich
Wings
Cheese steak stuffed bread
Greek feta and burgundy olive pizza

I still need one more thing, but I am thinking a sd tomato and white bean pizza.

[liamsaunt]

Can you post the cheesesteak bread recipe?

Last night I came up with two more ideas...chicken-vegetable potstickers, and vegetarian egg rolls. Now I just need one more thing!

[Xislandgirl]

Cheesesteak bread

I cheat and use Pillsbury crescent rolls because it is just easier for me, I am sure you could use whatever dough you like.

Beware- I don’t measure things. I eyeball everything

I thinly slice flank steak or sometimes have my butcher make me “sandwich” steak and sautee with salt and pepper until no longer pink and remove from the pan

Sautee peppers and onions (sometimes mushrooms) until soft and then throw the meat back in for a minute or 2 and remove from heat. I usually take it out of the pan and put it on paper towels to remove some of the grease. (see note below)

Take your dough and form into a rectangle and spread meat mixture down the center and top with cheese. I use a combo of provolone and cheddar (sometimes Gruyere) but you can use any kind. If you are feeling ambitious you can slice the outside edges of the dough and braid it together or just pull the sides together and bake until the dough is cooked (depending on your dough)

The key is to make sure that you remove the grease before stuffing into the dough, it just gets to drippy if you don’t

[liamsaunt]

Thanks for the recipe xislandgirl. I'm going to save it for next season and make it for my Dad, a diehard iggles fan. He'll swoon for something like this.

You did inspire my last recipe though! I realized I did not have any beef on the menu, so I got some premade filo tartlets, and am going to fill them up with a sort of asian style beef salad.

Good luck to everyone with their menus, and may the best team win!
