Make-Ahead Appetizers
In this course, we divide appetizers into three categories to help you space out the planning and execution of your party. This translates to a full array of appetizers for guests to choose from, all executed perfectly and at the right time and temperature. By planning (and cooking) ahead, you'll be able to enjoy the food—and your guests too! But no matter how well you plan, emergencies or spills can happen. We'll share a few of the pantry essentials we like to keep on hand for last-minute events or appetizer calamities. And finally, we'll walk you through recipes for Slow-Cooker Glazed Cocktail Meatballs, Devils on Horseback, Southern Cheese Straws, Spinach Squares, and Broccoli Dip in a Bread Bowl.
