These win every time. Surprisingly, they aren't really that hot. I prefer hot sausage to spice them up a bit and a slice of pre cooked bacon on top.

Pretty good recipe, however, I reduce the amount of pickled Jalapenos to 1/4 cup minced fine, and I use regular Monetary Jack. (Depends how hot you like it and if you mind the heat overpowering the crab)

One of my go-to’s is taco dip. Brown 1 lb of ground beef, drain, add half a packet of taco seasoning. In a casserole dish, combine 1 package of softened cream cheese, small container of sour cream and the rest of the taco seasoning. Smooth evenly on the bottom of the dish. Top with seasoned beef. Add layer of salsa. Top with shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend) and chopped lettuce. Serve with tortilla chips.

A crowd favorite of mine is meatball sliders.
Do meatballs with a nice red sauce, in a slow cooker.
Put said meatball on Kings Hawaiian roll

Orange Soy Babyback Ribs. Although I add some fresh garlic and hot sauce to the marinade to add a little bite. They mocrowave well for reheating.

We make a version these at home sometimes with Hungarian wax peppers. I put marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese on top of mine along with the sausage stuffing.These win every time.

Crab stuffed mushrooms. Buy the claw meat, it tastes the same. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/12751/crab-stuffed-mushrooms/
I recommend roasted Cornish game hens. They look a lot like the Hawkeyes will look after the game Saturday night.

Baguette, goat cheese, hot pepper jelly, cured meat of choice (soprasetta, salami, pepperoni, jamon serrano). Slice bread, arrange everything else neatly on platter. Put out a couple bowls for nuts/dried fruit. Serve, enjoy.
i can cook. not looking to spend all day but am ok with doing a little prep work and putting something on the stove or in the oven.
