Appetizer

Meatballs & Jalepeno Dip
2 pounds ground beef
2 eggs
2/3 c. dry bread crumbs
1 med. onion, chopped
½ c. milk
2 tsp. worcestershire sauce (opt.)
1 tsp. garlic salt
½ tsp. pepper

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix all ingredients and shape ground beef mixture into 1 and 1/4 inch balls. Place meatballs in baking pans. Bake uncovered until light brown, about 20 to 30 minutes. Drain. And put aside until you add to dip.

Dip:
1 package 16 oz. Velveeta (cubed)
1 can Rotel (tomatoes with chili peppers)
1 or 2 jalapeno peppers (canned and drained)

Dice the peppers and add and mix with the melted Velveeta and tomato mixture.. Heat until the mixture is hot and not scorched. Add meatballs to this and stir carefully. Preferably, put this into a crock pot and keep on low heat for about another hour before serving. Meatballs can be served and eaten with toothpicks while the cheese sauce can be dipped with tortilla chips.

Spread crescent rolls onto a regular size cookie sheet, pressing seams together as not to have any holes. Bake according to directions until VERY lightly browned. Cool. Mix softened cream cheese with Hidden Valley Ranch packet until blended well..you may want to add just a DROP or two of milk to make sure it's a little more spreadable. Spread on cooled crust evenly. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and all cut up veggies. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour..Cut and serve as you would a pizza. Can be cut smaller for appetizers.....
