Appetizers from Liz&Meg

Here are some appetizer recipes from Liz:

Stuffed Mushrooms

2 lb. mushrooms, cleaned and de-stemmed
1 lb. Jimmy Dean Hot sausage (light works fine), browned
1 8 oz. package cream cheese (light works fine)
1 Tblsp. worcestershire sauce

Clean mushrooms, brown sausage and drain. Mix sausage with softened cream cheese and worcestershire sauce. Spoon into mushroom caps and bake for 10 minutes at 350. Then broil for five minutes. Easy, yummy and everyone's always impressed at how simple they are to make!

Rumaki (Roo-ma-key)

2 cans whole water chesnuts, drained
1/2-1 lb. bacon, cut in halfs or thirds
6 Tbsp. chili sauce
3 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

Wrap chestnuts with bacon and secure with a toothpick. Broil 5-6 minutes. Mix together chili sauce, brown sugar and mustard (I almost always have to make 1 1/2 batches of sauce). Dip wrapped chestnuts in sauce and return to oven to bake at350 for 20 minutes.

Avocado Bean Dip

1 can small black beans and juice
1 can white corn, drained (yellow corn works fine too)
1/2 sweet onion, chopped fine
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
fresh lime juice from 2 limes
1-2 avocados, not too mushy, diced

Mix together first five ingredients. Add the avocado. It's yummy with those lime tostitos!

Sorry if I went overboard! I love appetizers!!!!! Can't wait to hear everyone else's ideas!
