I have a tip for the meatballs, buy tortilla chip scoops,line the inside with lettuce, drop in the meatball,top with graded cheese. ( The lettuce serves as a moisture barrier so the chips won't get soggy )
Love the meatballs that way! Made them in July for my son’s Marine brothers who come for a reunion and they were great! Much less sweet than the grape jelly but just as good on the flavor.
My favorite cheeseball is: 4 8oz blocks cream cheese - softened. 6 packages Buddig corn beef or Buddig Beef - chopped in small pieces. 1 bunch green onions - chopped. 1 Tbsp Accent 2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce. You can adjust the seasoning to your taste. Mix everything together and shape into a ball. I put some of the beef in the cheese ball and then cover the entire cheeseball with the chopped beef.
I make a simple cheeseball. It is customizable. I have made it with ham, bacon and roast beef and they were all good. Our 2 favorites are the bacon bits and the ham. 16 oz cream cheese 2 cups shredded cheddar 2 Tbsps Worchestershire sauce 1 tsp garlic powder 1 cup chopped ham, chopped roast beef or real bacon bits 3 finely chopped green onions
I made a happy mistake years ago when I first made the meatballs. I used an asian chile sauce instead of the heinz. I love it so much more! It is spicy, but so delicious!
We use red currant jelly with mustard! But the cranberry sauce would be a great substitution with hot dogs, little smokies, smoked sausage or meatballs!
Chili sauce and cranberry….may try that with chicken! Normally use cranberry, onion soup mix and Catalina dressing…. Def doing it with meatballs soon! Never had rotel dip with cream cheese. We use velveta, rotel and cooked, crumbled brfst sausage. That plant actually does better when u let it slightly dry out and then water it. I’ve had mine for years, replanted and broke them apart and they continue to grow. Loved thru 2 hurricanes and snow!
Mandy I was just introduced to your channel by chance and we are loving your recipes. You ask us to write a comment I say you are so popular because you do every day meals for every day people. keep up the great work!
cranberry sauce was always what you used many years ago then people tried the grape and started using that. I am 66 and we always used cranberry sauce glad to hear the younger generation are trying the old ways.
I use that rotel dip in stuffed peppers. I pre- cook the peppers so they are a little soft and then put in the meat mixture and bake a little longer until the pepper and meat is hot. In fact I made this for dinner today.
Well, now I definitely would love to try the dill cheese ball, and I am going to make the cranberry meatballs! Thank you Mandy for these great ideas 🤗💕
I'm SO happy to see that you've posted a new video! I love seeing all the recipes that you and your viewers come up with. I'm disabled so I can't cook any more, but I love watching you and your family interact. Oh yes, and I can't leave out that sweet little Ms. Gracie Lou!
I wish I lived here near you I'd love to cook for you! I do for my disabled father and it really gives me such joy, I got my love of cooking from him. Hope you have a great day, and holiday Criss. ❤
I would love to cook for you as well. I bake and cook for all my neighbors. They all work and have tiny kid, I am a disabled veteran and am home all day. Cooking and baking for them brings me and them happiness. If you live within driving distance I'd be there in heart beat with hot home cooked meal and company
You and your husband are such a cute couple..My husband and I have been married 53 years and we still enjoy each other's company... This is the second time I have watched your show and now I have so many recipes to try... Thank you so much 🥰
Oh Mandy! Love these appetizers. Definitely gonna have to try them, especially the cranberry meatballs! For the cheeseball, you HAVE to try the Pecan Pie cheeseball..Always a hit with us!
I use canned whole cranberry sause, not the jelly stuff, in my meatballs. I also use the same ingredients to make Little Smokies (tiny hotdogs) in the crockpot - always a big hit with children too!
I've made cheese balls using cream cheese a top lemon juice, 1 can deviled ham spread and a dash of worchestershire sauce and 1/2 envelope onion soup mix. Add 1/2 cup shredded cheese, roll into ball and wrap in wax paper and refrigerate for an hour. Before serving, roll in finely crushed walnuts.
I would like to thank you for sharing your ideas and recipes and your family for tasting and sharing their opinions! It helps after 36 yrs of the same dinner!!!
Mandy and Steven (and Cole, of course), Finding your channel has truly been a gift to me and my family. It's been a wonderful journey trying the recipes on here and the anticipation of what you will share next. I Love the family reviews! I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a Happy and Blessed New Year!🎄🎉
Yummy!! They all look great, but the one that's making my mouth water most right now is the dill pickle cheese ball! Thank you so much Mandy! You always make great recipes!!! Hugs and blessings!!
I make those meatballs for dinner. I have used the cranberry sauce for a long time now. I don't eat grape jelly often and we'd end up with a half container in the fridge forever. So I really liked how I could just use one can and not have any left over. I use two jars of chili sauce and I have used homemade and frozen meatballs. I serve it over rice with broccoli. It's a great, hearty, and warming dinner!
I am definitely changing grape 🍇 jelly for cranberry sauce, what a great idea. I want to try that cheese ball as well for next get together. Thanks so much
Going to try these soon. I've binge watched your channel and tonight we are having Lauren's Indian Chicken, hopefully hubby approves. Such a beautiful family Merry Christmas to everyone.
So I have made this cheese ball twice since I saw this video. It’s amazing. Truth… it is even more amazing if you let it sit for a couple days. OMG… intense flavor. Only thing I would recommend is using actual pretzels like the twists, but be prepared… it will go fast. That’s probly why the actual recipe was for twice as much. Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Mandy, It's too funny! Right as I was watching your video and you were making the crescent roll appetizers my first thought was instead of using the plain brick cream cheese I would probably use one of the flavored and the first ones that came to mind were the urban onion or garlic and onion as well as the jalapeno! I'm so glad I saw your comment when you got to Steven's taste test! I'm definitely going to be making these the next time we have a family gathering holiday or otherwise. Thank you so much for sharing as always!
I had that plant for 10-11 years. I just learned to put and egg under the roots. I haven’t watered it in an about a month. Gonna do it tonight. Looks beautiful.
Will be trying all 3 of these. I do a sausage dip with sausage, cream cheese and Undrained rotel and it’s delicious. And I do just sausage with cream cheese and lay out crescent sheet top with sausage mixture then another crescent sheet it’s my family’s favorite breakfast
Omg, these appetizers look amazing and I can't wait to try them. It's been quite some time since I've had the grape jelly meatballs. But now I'm so ready to change it up with the cranberry sauce.😋
I make a ham cheese ball. I get the ham cubes and green onions and chop it in the food chopper. Add it to 4 cream cheese and mix it up. Sooooo good and easy
My friend showed me this cranberry sauce meatballs 20 years ago. However she also added 2TB of brown sugar. Sweet and sour meatballs. Always a big hit.
ok hear me out with the first one the meatballs do that but also add in the lil smokies ( those baby sausages) in with the meatballs , sooooo good
I do this too!
Chief Jean Pierre says to put the microplane on top of the citrus to zest so you can see where you’re going Not the other way around.
I have a tip for the meatballs, buy tortilla chip scoops,line the inside with lettuce, drop in the meatball,top with graded cheese. ( The lettuce serves as a moisture barrier so the chips won't get soggy )
Jeannem...thanks for reminding me about the microplane!! ❤❤❤

Same way I make mine,
This is my favorite too! Although I’ve never used Worcester sauce… I’ll try it the next time I make it for sure!!!
Thank you 😊
I like adding 1. T. horseradish to it as well
Thank you for sharing
Hello Mandy, I’m new to your channel and really enjoyed watching your videos.
Russian dressing and Apricot preserves make the best sweet and sour meatballs.
Good for Russian chicken. Pour over chicken bake 1 hour at 350,serve with noodles. Make extra sauce😊
I look forward to your videos there always so good. I just lost my mom on the 9th. I'm just lost and numb. She was my rock. Keep me in your prayers.
Ooh I’m sorry I miss my mom every year Christmas was her favorite
Oooooo gotta make that cheese ball but I’m adding bacon bits!😍
I make a simple cheeseball. It is customizable. I have made it with ham, bacon and roast beef and they were all good. Our 2 favorites are the bacon bits and the ham.
16 oz cream cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar
2 Tbsps Worchestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 cup chopped ham, chopped roast beef or real bacon bits
3 finely chopped green onions
I have always used my homemade cranberry sauce in my meatballs because my hubby is a cranberry lover. Beautiful at Christmas.
you and your husband are too cute :)
I made a happy mistake years ago when I first made the meatballs. I used an asian chile sauce instead of the heinz. I love it so much more! It is spicy, but so delicious!
Will try that! Asian chili sauce is wonderful.😅
We use red currant jelly with mustard! But the cranberry sauce would be a great substitution with hot dogs, little smokies, smoked sausage or meatballs!
First my mouth was watering from watching the video & now it started all over again from reading the comments here! So many tasty ideas.
Mandy when you tasted those meatballs I was sold. Lol I'm trying all of these.
We use whole cranberry sauce, and smoked sausage when making this and it's a hit every time 🤗
What brand of smoked sausage? Is it ground? Please let me know! Thank you
I do bbq sauce and blackberry jelly. So good!
Chili sauce and cranberry….may try that with chicken! Normally use cranberry, onion soup mix and Catalina dressing…. Def doing it with meatballs soon!
Never had rotel dip with cream cheese. We use velveta, rotel and cooked, crumbled brfst sausage.
That plant actually does better when u let it slightly dry out and then water it. I’ve had mine for years, replanted and broke them apart and they continue to grow. Loved thru 2 hurricanes and snow!
I live in Lexington, SC. I knew that accent from this state lol. We are a special kind of breed.

Swear apricot Preserves with the Chili sauce Yummy
Made the dill pickle ball. Everyone loved it. Used potato and pita chips. We only use cranberry sauce for our meatballs.
I use canned whole cranberry sause, not the jelly stuff, in my meatballs. I also use the same ingredients to make Little Smokies (tiny hotdogs) in the crockpot - always a big hit with children too!
I normally use turkey meatballs. The cranberry sauce would be a good compliment to them! ~ Anastacia in Cleveland
I do stuffed mushrooms with the sausage , Rotella and cream cheese mix top it eith a little parmesan cheese and my boys love them
I'm excited about the appetizers
When did you record this video
I've made cheese balls using cream cheese a top lemon juice, 1 can deviled ham spread and a dash of worchestershire sauce and 1/2 envelope onion soup mix. Add 1/2 cup shredded cheese, roll into ball and wrap in wax paper and refrigerate for an hour. Before serving, roll in finely crushed walnuts.
I love your show. So awesome! Will be making these for the holidays.
Giving all the recipes a try. Nice twist on the meatballs with the cranberries sauce.
I make a cheese ball with dry ranch dressing pack and cream cheese rolled in chopped almond. But will have to try dill cheese ball.
