Cheesy Snack Bites

I love cheap & easy recipes - I am all about cheap & easy (no comments please you dirty minded fools).

I prefer recipes with less than 5 ingredients and less than 5 steps and that cost less than $5 to throw together (hopefully in less than 5 minutes, too!). Here is a favorite quickie appetizer recipe for when you're having company...

Cheesy Snack Bites

1 (4 oz.) can refrigerated crescent rolls

1/4 cup chopped green chilies, drained

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Remove dough from can. DO NOT UNROLL DOUGH. Cut into quarter-inch slices; place slices on a pampered Chef baking stone (I use my Medium Bar Pan for this recipe). Top each slice with green chilies, garlic powder and cheddar cheese; press gently into dough. Bake 8 to 13 minutes or until light golden brown.

Serves 8-10

They are SO easy!!
It is important to bake them on stoneware. If you do them on an aluminim pan or on tin fiol, they get gummy and nasty on the bottom.

Carolyn.. do you know if Pampered Chef ships to Sweden? If not I am sure I can find another brand.. but I've heard such great things about that line.

The company does not ship out of the country unless it's to APO addresses. I can get you the items you need and ship them for you if you need me to.

I'm all over the cheap ingredients. But I'm pretty sure my post divorce kitchen does not have a Pampered Chef baking stone. I have some leftover ceramic floor tile. Can I substitute that? ;-)
I do have a pizza pan with lots of little holes in it. I'll try the recipe with those and pray to the gods of baking for divine intervention.

Time to host a Pampered Chef cooking show and get all the cookware for FREE!!!
When I left my ex-husband...I was the one who moved out of the house. I packed up the kids' rooms, then I packed up all the Pampered Chef tools from the kitchen, then I packed up my clothes/shoes/etc. You can see where my priorities were - LOL

Yes, you got the kitchen and he got the garage. I guess that's pretty typical. But now with my wet saw and leftover tiles, I can create my own line of low-cost cookware! Reflecting the humble origin of my products, I will call them Hampered Chef.
