Hi Pat,

Those Meatballs with the Grape Jelly sound tasty. I sometimes use Apple Jelly when I make my Mini-Meatballs. I'll also have some Meatballs on Game day as well, but it takes a 3 to 3 1/2 quart Crockpot to make the meatballs, so I just keep some warm in one of the Crocks while serving. These little Crocks are only 1 quart each.

Since you mentioned before that you like Artichokes so well, here's a quick Dip that you might like to try sometime. Four ingredients and a microwave oven are all you need to make this version of a to-die-for dip.

Hot Artichoke Dip

1/2

cup mayonnaise or salad dressing

1/2

cup grated Parmesan cheese

4

medium green onions, chopped (1/4 cup)

1

can (14 to 15 oz) artichoke hearts, drained, cut into small pieces

Crackers or cocktail rye bread, if desired

1. In ungreased 1-quart microwavable casserole, mix all ingredients except crackers.
2. Cover tightly; microwave on Medium-High (70%) 4 to 5 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes, until hot.
3. Serve warm with crackers. Makes 1 1/2 cups.

Have A Terrific Thursday,

Phil

Hi Pat,

Those Chicken Wings sound delicious. I also agree with you, it's more fun to lick your fingers clean when the Wings are so tasty. I usually make the Wings the regular way as well, but I've used a couple of recipes for the Crockpot.

This is just like spicy chicken wings, only less work. Cooks up quite nicely in the slow cooker for a quick meal that's super easy and oh so yummy. For crispier chicken, just bake these in a 400 degrees F oven for the final 30 minutes. Be sure and make plenty, because they'll go fast!

Spicy Hot Chicken Legs

Ingredients

• 24 chicken drumsticks
• 2 (5 ounce) bottles hot red pepper sauce
• 1/2 cup butter, cubed
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• salt and pepper to taste
• 3 cups blue cheese salad dressing

Directions

Place the drumsticks in a slow cooker, and sprinkle evenly with pieces of butter. Pour the hot sauce over the chicken, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Cover, and cook on High for 3 hours, or until tender. Serve chicken legs with blue cheese dressing on the side. Serves 12.

Wishing You A Wonderful Weekend,

Phil
