Yesterday, I spent my day making appetizers for a party tonight. My goal was to use ingredients that I had on the shelf. I made tortilla chips from Target's Mexican coupon offer. I painted them with live oil- sprinkled Parmesan cheese- pressed it in place and then sprinkled with garlic, onion, and paprika. Bake in over 8 minutes. Store in airtight container.
Next I found a bottle of Ragu cheddar cheese sauce. I added a big squirt of dijon mustard and ham cut into tiny pieces.
Next, I pulled out a couple of cans of Pillsbury bisquits- I cut each bisquit into 8 or so pieces in a bowl, then added a layer of pepperoni, a layer of canned spaghetti sauce, basil, oregano, mozzarella cheese, a layer of bisquits- continued- until the ingredients were gone. I poured it into a baking pan and baked for about 20- or so minutes.
Finally, I took two large chicken breasts sauteed them. Cut them up in a fine dice, finely diced celery, finely sliced grapes, added a combo of mayo and sour cream.
I spent $2.50 for the ham at Aldi's- I used maybe 70¢ worth in the dip and the rest will be used here at home. Hopefully, people will eat t tonight!!
