1. Jelly Cream Cheese Spread…the easiest Thanksgiving Appetizer
I added this one first because it is so simple, but everyone loves it! It is literally the easiest Appetizer, and is items you probably keep on hand, so you are always prepared.
I love to be able to pull out a fancy appetizer in less than 5 minutes to just blow the socks off my guests. All you have to do it take a block of cream cheese and spread your favorite jam or jelly on top. That’s it! Then eat on top of your favorite crackers.
Bronco Berry Cream Cheese Spread
One of my favorite toppings to use for this is Arby’s Bronco Berry Sauce. Arby’s very well may be my favorite fast-food restaurant, and one of my favorite items on their menu is the Jalapeno Bites.
Now, I love jalapeno poppers in general, but Arby’s are extra special because of their dipping sauce. The beloved Bronco Berry Sauce. If you have get your hands on this. I highly recommend you try this appetizer using the Bronco Berry Sauce.

The best part is they are made in the crock pot so all you have to do is add your ingredients to the crock pot and cook them on high for a couple of hours.
3. Classic Cheeseball…the Best Thanksgiving Appetizer
Growing up, Classic Cheese Ball Recipe was a staple at every big dinner or get-together. You know the one…beef, cream cheese, green onion…yum. Even the pickiest eaters always gathered around it. I don’t know if it is because they are so delicious, or because it was always the first thing ready to eat.
Classic Cheeseball
For a Classic Cheese Ball Recipe you only need a few main ingredients; Cream Cheese, Beef, Green Onion, and Salt to taste. Now, I personally think pecans are necessary for a good cheeseball because I love the crunch. But you could always leave off the pecans, or substitute them for bacon bits.
