This was a quick and easy five minute throw in the slow cooker kind of appetizer, not to mention tasty! There is a lot of sweet but the whiskey cuts through all the sweetness. I only used one pound of kielbasa but the sauce can easily accommodate two pounds!

INGREDIENTS
1 to 2 pounds of kielbasa
1/3 cup of brown sugar
10 ounce jar of apricot preserves
1/2 cup real maple syrup
3 Tablespoons of whiskey

DIRECTIONS
Mix all ingredients except kielbasa in a bowl.  Slice kielbasa in to 1 inch rounds and place in the slow cooker. Pour the sauce ingredients over the kielbasa and mix to coat all of the kielbasa. Cook on low for 4 hours and serve.

Enjoy,

This recipe is easy and you can make it with all of your favorite pizza toppings! This would be great for any game day or tailgating although I made it for some teenagers! This was gone very quick. be sure to cook this all the way through, I found that it looked done on the outside but the center needed a little more time!

 

 

 

INGREDIENTS
2 tubes of refrigerated french bread dough
1 1/2 cups of your favorite pizza sauce
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
Any of your favorite pizza toppings
I used…
1 cup diced pepperoni
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup crumbled bacon

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Take dough out of the tubes and cut the first roll of dough in half length wise, then cut the dough into 32 total pieces. Do the same with the second dough. You will have 64 dough balls.
Arrange dough pieces on a pizza stone or pan. Top with sauce and all of your toppings.
Bake 15 minutes or until crust is golden and cooked through.

Enjoy,

NOTE

I made this recipe with frozen shrimp that were peeled , deveined and tails off as that is what I had on hand and the cooking time was exactly 15 minutes. Depending on the size of your shrimp will depend on your cooking time. I also used Ciabatta bread, that worked fantastic with the shrimp!

Ever since I made the hot cheesy party ring I have wanted to make a sandwich using the same bread and ring  So after some thought here it is! IT IS easy and full of flavor. I will say that the next time I make it I will make it in the traditional loaf method as directed on the french bread dough instructions.  BUT… I will make not one… but TWO! 🙂

 

 

 

INGREDIENTS
1 tube refrigerated french bread dough
1 teaspoon melted butter
Dry Italian seasoning
3 slices mild cheddar cheese (sliced in half)
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 tomato sliced
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
12 pieces hot Calabrese
12 pieces hot Capocollo
12 pieces Pepper Salami
1/2 cup robusto Italian dressing (or any Italian dressing you have on hand)

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Take the dough out of the tube and connect the ends of the dough making a ring.  Stretch slightly.  Place dough in prepared bundt pan.  Brush the melted butter on the top of the dough and add your dry Italian seasonings on top of the butter. Bake the dough for 26-30 minutes or until the dough is brown and cooked through. Take out of the oven and cool completely on a cooling rack.

Slice dough horizontally and start to layer the sandwich.  Place the cheese on the bottom of the bread then layer all of the meat. On top of the meat add the shredded lettuce and then about 2 tablespoons of the italian dressing.  Continue layer with the onion and tomato.

On the cut side of the TOP of the bread, spread the rest of the Italian dressing. Place the top of the bread on the sandwich, slice and enjoy!
