Kabobs

An appetizer that has been a favorite is your classic kabob. This is an appetizer that is also on the easier side of preparation and can yield plenty of servings. The great part about kabobs is that you're able to customize them to the individuals that you’re feeding. Whether you choose to use chicken, beef or pork, you can cater to all types of preferences.

Aside from that, it’s easy to pick out some veggies, place them on the skewer and grill them all. Like we said, all together it’s very quick, easy and relatively affordable. Here are a few of the recipes we turn to for kabobs.

Sliders & Mini Sandwiches

Choosing to cook Thanksgiving dinner is something that you’ll quickly realize requires some serious time. For that reason, finding delicious appetizers that fill people up enough to hold them off until the Thanksgiving meal is ready is a must. That being said, sliders and mini sandwiches are a great appetizer that is also pretty easy to make.

While it may seem very time consuming, the reality is that it doesn’t have to be. Using some of our grass-fed beef to make one large burger patty in the oven is much less time consuming than many other appetizer options. We’ve included a few of the slider and mini sandwich recipes we’ve enjoyed.
