Christmas Ornament Cheese Ball
This Christmas ornament cheese ball is the perfect festive holiday appetizer. It's a simple mix of cream cheese, ranch seasoning, bacon, and dill pickles, patted into a ball, and topped with a Christmas ornament hanger, as tasty as it is cute.
Air Fryer Meatballs
After trying air fryer meatballs, I will never bake them in the oven again! The insides stay nice and tender while the outsides get a slight crisp on them. The best part is that you can make them ahead of time and freeze for later use. Dip meatballs in marinara, if desired.
Sausage Rolls
This sausage roll recipe makes 16 golden, savory, flaky rolls. People often bake the sausage roll whole, then cut it up. But I've found that if you cut them into individual rounds first, the crispier results more than make up for the extra work.
