Help round out my menu

BluepointToasted · February 2014

Beer tasting party at my house Friday. Expecting around 50 people. Lots of beer (obviously). On the menu are: mini beef on weck, mini sausage and sauerkraut with beer and brown sugar, Stromboli, stuffed banana pepper dip with pita chips, beer/chddar dip in a pumpernickel bread bowl, pretzels with assorted mustards, brownies with salted caramel sauce. I know a few people are going to bring stuff, but I don't want to rely on that to have enough. I think maybe I need one more app. Any ideas? Preferably super simple, since I work all day Friday. Veggies and hummus?

Yes! Everyone can come, it is going to be awesome. Need something fun to get rid of these winter blues!

Cousins just texted, add a jalepeno popper dip, brownie batter dip, and Guinness cupcakes with baileys frosting.

That is a really great idea and I think the Veggies and Hummus would round out your menu nicely, that or another dessert, but I like lots of dessert! Sounds like a super fun party!

I second the veggies and hummus and/or maybe another dip, maybe some fruit? I always like to have a few fresh lighter things along with heavier stuff.

I think veggies would be good, or you could make those ham roll-up things and some cheese.

This sounds amazing!

I would definately add some lighter fare like veggies and hummus or fruit skewers.

Okay, I added veggies and hummus to my list, and you dip strawberries in the brownie batter dip. I think one of my other friends is making a crockpot if chili or bean soup or something like that, so we should be good.

Sounds like so much fun. I agree with the veggies

Please share the stuffed banana pepper dip recipe!

I agree that fruit would be a nice addition. DH gets really grossed out when I add fruit to a beer where it doesn't belong (like orange or lemon in an IPA) but I think orange, apple, or grapefruit slices would be a nice addition to your menu. Everything sounds awesome!

@maebb, the banana pepper dip recipe is in the dip thread from yesterday

Stealing your idea for a party!

Traditional & easy: tomatoes & mozz w/ balsamic drizzle, basil, onion

Awesome recent find: grilled scallop, mango, tequila shooters. .

I am famous for a certain dip. My friends get sad when I don't bring it to gtgs. It's easy, but not hummus easy.

8oz cream cheese softened
8oz sour cream
1 1/2c shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 onion chopped
1/4lb deli ham, chopped
1/4lb deli turkey, chopped
1/2 tsp creole seasoning
S&P

Mix cream cheese and sour cream until combined. Add 1c cheese, ham, turkey, onion, creole seasoning, and S&P. Mix to combine and put into casserole dish. Sprinkle top with extra 1/2c cheese and bake at 350* for 20-25 mins until cheese is melty. Serve with chips.
