Christmas gatherings, parties, celebrations are upon us and we love it, here at The Gingham Apron.
Years ago our good friends hosted home group one Sunday evening and Jim brought out the most delicious appetizer, his poppers—his specialty! We loved them. We still do. There’s just something about hot appetizers that makes those little delicacies even more special. They are so easy to make with just a few ingredients.
Sprinkle with a little seasoning. The BBQ tangy seasoning I had on had works well. You might have something you like better. Be sure to place these little nuggets in a pan with sides.
And yes…..I had 3 right off the bat! 🙂 Delish!
