Appetizer Recipes

OK, so I'm tired of going to different web sites to look up different recipes. I'm going to keep them here and by me putting them here I'm clearly endorsing them having made them.

Appetizers:

Guacamole recipe:

1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

Directions
In a large bowl place the scooped avocado pulp and lime juice, toss to coat. Drain, and reserve the lime juice, after all of the avocados have been coated. Using a potato masher add the salt, cumin, and cayenne and mash. Then, fold in the onions, jalapeno, tomatoes, cilantro, and garlic. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved lime juice.

Cajun meatballs recipe:

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 1/2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 
  1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup barbeque sauce
• 1/2 cup peach preserves
• I didn't do it with the peach preserves but I bet it would be better with it.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking sheet.
2. In a large bowl, mix thoroughly the ground beef, hot pepper sauce, Cajun seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, onion, bread crumbs, milk, and egg.
3. Form the mixture into golf ball sized meatballs and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until there is no pink left in the middle.
4. In a small bowl, combine the barbeque sauce and peach preserves.
5. When meatballs are done, place in a serving dish and cover with the barbeque sauce mixture. Toss to coat.
