What do you serve when you need to feed a large group of hungry football fans? Bite sized snacks are always a big hit as folks can nibble throughout the night as they get hungry. They make life easier for the hostess as well. Offering up a variety of different small snacks will appeal to a larger group. Since folks will like different things you are sure to have something for everyone.
If you opt for easy snacks like these Mini Crescent Meatball Bites, you’ll get a tasty appetizer that you can make in a flash. This means you aren’t stuck in the kitchen and are able to actually enjoy the party with your guests.
Look at the ingredients needed for this recipe…notice that there are only four things required. A jar of RAGÚ® Homestyle Sauce, some pre-made meatballs, cheese and a can of crescent sheets combine for a super snack that will disappear in a flash. Each ingredient plays an important role in this recipe. The crescent sheet acts as the cup that holds all the great taste making these an easy snack that you can grab and go. Of course the meatball makes these a nice hearty snack and cheese makes everything better. When you add in the big bold flavor of RAGÚ® Homestyle Sauce the combination is amazing.
