Hanky Panky’s

Categories Recipes2 Comments on Hanky Panky’s

First off I would like to say Happy 5th Birthday to Hangry Hannah! I am so proud of myself for being semi-consistent with posting on this website. More than anything it has been a fun outlet for writing and sharing my cooking!

The first recipe of the year that I would like to share is a recipe made known to me by my Uncle. He would make these Hanky Panky’s every year as an appetizer for Christmas. I had these “trailer trash hors’ devours” (his words not mine) once a year and they were one of my favorite things! They are simple but effective, the perfect finger foods for your next get-together.

Ingredients

  • 1 LB Ground Beef
  • 1 LB Hot Sausage
  • 1 LB Velveeta, cubed [My store only had slices so I used the whole pack]
  • 1 TSP Soy Sauce
  • 2 TSP Dijon Mustard
  • 1 TSP Oregano
  • 1/2 TSP Garlic Salt
  • 1/2 TSP Salt
  • 1 Loaf Party Rye Bread

Let’s Get Cooking

Cook the ground beef and hot sausage in a large skillet over MED heat. Cook until it’s cooked through and it’s broken up. Strain off the extra grease and place it back into the skillet.

Add in the Velveeta and mix well until the cheese is melted and well combined.

Add in the soy sauce + dijon + oregano + garlic salt + salt.

Preheat your broiler to HIGH

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and rye bread slices.

Place a TBSP scoop of the mixture onto each slice of rye. Broil until bubbly and the edges catch, about 2-3 minutes.

Make sure you let them cool before shoving 2 into your mouth.

Made with Love,
Hannah

Stuffed Dates – Antoni’s ‘Perfect Bite’

Categories Recipes2 Comments on Stuffed Dates – Antoni’s ‘Perfect Bite’

Ever since I’ve had Antoni’s cookbook I’ve wanted to make these dates. I never knew the right time. I just moved into my own apartment and I thought, YES, I CAN MAKE THOSE DATES FOR A HOUSE WARMING PARTY. I know, what a necessary thing to think about when you are moving. Though my housewarming party got canceled due to weather, I still made these dates and enjoyed them on the couch. Antoni’s right, it really is the perfect bite. Salty, sweet, savory, and a multitude of textures as well. See if you agree.

Ingredients

  • 24 Medjool Dates, pitted
  • 1/4 lb Thinly Sliced Proscuitto
  • 3 oz Blue Cheese
  • 24 Roasted Salted Almonds, preferably Marcona

Let’s Get Cooking

Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. [ I didn’t have a baking sheet yet so I used a muffin tin & that worked too].

Tear the pieces of Proscuitto lengthwise to get about 24 strips

Cut the dates along the side and stuff with about 1/2 tsp blue cheese and one almond. Gently close the date and wrap with Proscuitto. Place on baking sheet cut side up so the cheese does not melt out.

Bake for about 7-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling. Let sit for a little before eating, it will be difficult to wait but you don’t want to burn your mouth.

Made with Love,

Hannah
