Easy Holiday Appetizers – Won Tons

Time to start thinking about some appetizers for the holidays.  One of my family’s all-time favorites is Won Tons.

I thought it was time to share my recipe again.   Super easy and such a treat.  You can make these ahead of time, just freeze and cook what you need.

This recipe is so easy.  You’ll need 1 lb of ground beef – – – 1 can diced green chilies  – Colby Jack Cheese – I always have all of these on hand.

The only thing I usually have to buy are Won Ton Wraps.  ( You can find these at any grocery store)

Here is a step by step tutorial on how to make these easy and delicious treats.

Brown meat well then add the can of green chilies, cook together for 1 to 2 minutes.

Add 2 large handfuls of the shredded cheese.

Turn heat off and stir to melt and combine with the meat mixture.

Beat one egg in a bowl and set it aside to use when wrapping the won tons.

 Place a small spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of the won ton skin –

 Roll up from one corner about 3/4 of the way – –

 Dip fingers in egg wash and rub on the two ends to moisten, then stick them together in sort of a bow fashion.

Place them on a cookie sheet and put them in the freezer.

When they are frozen, package them up in freezer bags in a single layer – about 25 to the bag – and return to the freezer.  This recipe makes about 75.

To serve – Place frozen in hot oil and fry until golden brown.  These are small, so don’t overcook.  Serve with salsa or seasoned ketchup as a dip.

I love having something I can pull out of the freezer at a minute’s notice and these are always a crowd-pleaser. I know your family and friends will love them too.
