That time of the year has come. Time to count down to the new year with the best recipes from my blog for 2023.First up is the best appetizers for 2023. If you are hosting a New Years Eve party, why not have an appetizer party? Any of these easy appetizer recipes would be a perfect addition.
First is our best appetizers of 2023 is a recipe for a pellet smoker. We have fallen in love with our smoker since my husband got it for his birthday in May!
These hot dog burnt ends have turned into a family favorite. They are something we have made several times since I first made them. We even enjoyed them on Christmas Eve.
We also did a pan with the same sauce, but used smokies instead of hot dogs. They were just as delicious! They are the perfect small bites!
If you don’t have a smoker, you can still enjoy the hot dog burnt ends by cooking them in the oven.
Just cut the hot dogs and place in a baking dish. Cover with the sauce ingredients and bake at 375 degrees until the sauce thickens and caramelizes. You won’t get that wonderful added smoke taste, but it will still be tasty. They are the perfect small bites!
Second, is a recipe for is a super easy recipe for brown sugar apple dip. I made this for gatherings and my guests love it as much as I do. It’s also perfect for snacking!
Mixing brown sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla together is so simple. Enjoying with apples is great, but it is also good with other things. Try it with pears, strawberries, or bananas. graham cracker or pretzels are a couple of other options.
The third recipe is another one for a pellet grill. A recipe for easy smoked cheese queso with simple ingredients.
All you need is 1 hour of smoke time and this smoked cheese dip is ready to enjoy! It features a medley of cheese including classic American, pepper jack, and cream cheese. Then, add in a can of Ro*tel tomatoes and a can of green chilies. This is where you can pick your level of spice, by the Ro*tel and green chilies that you use. If needed you could substitute it with some salsa.
If you don’t have a smoker, it can still be a pretty tasty dip recipe to make in a slow cooker. Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for 1-2 hours until completely melted. Then, serve it up with your favorite tortilla chips.
The last best appetizer recipe for 2023 is for creamy sweet chili sauce. I originally tried this recipe out by serving it with some panko breaded shrimp. However, it would be delicious with other party appetizers.
This dipping sauce is as easy as mixing everything. It includes mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and fresh cilantro. I think the combination of flavors would work to serve with chicken strips, spring rolls, or grilled vegetables would be amazing.
If you haven’t given these recipes a try yet, add them to your list. They are all fantastic!
