This is not a drill! The holidays are here people! And that means your grocery cart is probably as full as your calendar.
We want you to be able to enjoy your outings, and hosting, and potlucks, and classroom parties, and brunch dates, and big dinners. So we've put together a line up of beef recipes with a short list of simple ingredients that are portable and perfect for everything from that office party potluck to your Cousin Christmas gift exchange. Take any of these recipes along to your next gathering and elevate everyone's holiday spirits. Going to a holiday brunch? We've got a savory Beef Sausage & Goat Cheese Egg Bake that's just fancy enough to be festive but not fussy.
Happy Holidays from all of us in Washington's Beef Community!
Ready to go
You'll just have to check the pantry and grab a few items from the grocery to have everything you need to make these portable, satisfying and festive beef bites for your next holiday gathering. Simple shortcuts like using fully-cooked pot roast, frozen puff pastry, and adding pre-made dipping sauces like horseradish cream from the deli or sweet BBQ sauce, makes these recipes even easier.
Perfect Pinwheels
Wow your friends with this delicious beef appetizer that only takes 4 ingredients! Fully-cooked beef Pot Roast from your grocery store (or leftover from Sunday dinner) is mixed with cheese and wrapped in puff pastry. Even though you take a short cut, you can take all the credit.
Pinkies Up!
Try our easy, mini version of Beef Wellington. Mushrooms, onion and thyme paired with Beef Tenderloin and baked in pastry cups until golden and crisp. These bite-sized appetizers quickly come together and are perfect for entertaining.
Savory Surprise
A colorful appetizer for any occasion that makes the most out of pantry staples. Tiny peppers packed with Ground Beef, spinach and couscous, sprinkled with reduced-fat cheese.
Just stuff it
Truly a bite-sized wonder. Mushroom caps are stuffed with a rich blend of Ground Beef, blue cheese and chives, then baked until golden brown and bubbly.
Brunch Bonus
Whether you're hosting or you've been invited over for the big morning of unwrapping and early morning squeals of joy, a ready-to-take (or ready-to-bake) option is a great gift for the whole family. This Beef Breakfast Sausage & Goat Cheese Egg Bake is the perfect balance to those cinnamon rolls and so.many.cups.of.coffee with a savory boost of everyone's favorite protein!
This recipe can be a real show-stopper if you're the hostess with the most-est! You'll want to prepare this recipe in a springform pan so you get that perfect hash brown crust. And plan to serve it up on a cake pedestal for a little extra festive flair.
Or, keep it simple and assemble this in your favorite casserole dish the night before and store in the refrigerator until it's time to bake or take. Tuck this breakfast into a casserole carrier hot out of your oven, or slide into your hosts' oven when you arrive. With the main dish done, now everyone can sit back and soak up the family fun!
