FAVORITE APPETIZERS (OR PREGAME FOOD!)

BACON-WRAPPED CHICKEN BITES

8 chicken tenders, flattened and cut in two, or boneless chicken breasts cut into cubes
3-ounce package softened cream cheese
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
8 slices bacon, cut in half

Dab 1/2 teaspoon (more or less) of cream cheese on top of each chicken tender. Sprinkle a scant 1/4 teaspoon of peppers over cream cheese. Fold or roll chicken to enclose cream cheese mixture. Wrap each roll with one piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

Grill until bacon is brown and crispy on both sides.

BEEF ROLL-UPS
Everyone loves these and they’re gone in a snap, so make a double batch!

1-2 packages sliced beef (or dried sliced beef in a jar)
1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
1 TBSP minced onion, preferably Vidalia
1/4 tsp horseradish
1/2 tsp worchestershire sauce

Mix last 4 ingredients together. Spread on each slice of beef and roll up. I like to then place one olive with a toothpick on each one for presentation. Delish!
