3 Easy Holiday Recipes With Just 6 ingredients or Less
Scrambling for something to bring to that party? These are some of mine and my family’s favorite and easiest holiday or party recipes. They all have just 6 ingredients or less! One appetizer, one casserole and one dessert. Guaranteed to be crowd pleasers at your next party.
Note that the first two recipes I typically eyeball and/or have tweaked over time so I don’t know the exact measurements that I use. These are very close estimates, though.
1. Velveeta Dip
Ingredients:
4 oz of Velveeta Cheese
About 3/4 of a 15.5 oz jar of a salsa of your choice
Tortilla Chips of your choice
Directions:
Combine cheese and salsa, preferably in a mini crockpot because it’ll keep the dip warm throughout the party. Prepare this about an hour before the party starts because it takes some time to fully melt. If you don’t have a mini crockpot, combine cheese and salsa in a microwave safe bowl and microwave until fully melted.
Enjoy!
2. Broccoli and Cheese Casserole
Ingredients:
4 (10 oz) frozen chopped broccoli or 2.5 large fresh heads of broccoli chopped
1 (16 oz) Velveeta cheese cubed
3/4 stick of butter melted
1 sleeve of Ritz crackers crumbled
Directions:
Cook broccoli.
Drain thoroughly and place into 9x12 casserole dish.
Place cubed Velveeta on top of broccoli.
Pour melted butter over casserole.
