Start 2022 with a BANG

It’s time to welcome in the New Year: 2022! And we’re not just tip-toeing into January, we’re starting the year with a BANG! There’s no better way to do that than with some tantalizing, spicy recipes. Think: buffalo chicken, spicy sausage, and cheesy jalapeño.

Every New Year’s celebration is what you make it. And, this year, we’re going bold with optimism for the future and these piquant dishes. No matter how or where you’re celebrating this year, we hope you’re inspired by these three new recipes to start 2022 with a BANG!

Cheesy Jalapeño Ham Sliders

You can have these sliders on the table in 30 minutes by splitting two sheets of Party Rolls crosswise and topping each bottom sheet with garlic mayonnaise, chopped jalapeños, ham, Swiss, and mozzarella cheese. Then, close the sliders and top with garlic butter and poppy seeds. Bake for 10-15 minutes and, voila! You have a snackable appetizer for your hungry crowd waiting for the ball to drop.

Ingredients:

• 1 Pack Martin’s Party Potato Rolls
• 1 Cup Mayonnaise
• 5 Cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 Jalapeño Peppers, seeded and thinly chopped
• ½ lb of Deli Ham, sliced thin
• ½ lb of Swiss Cheese, sliced thin
• 1 Cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
• Garlic Butter
  • 8 Tablespoons Butter, melted
  • 2 Tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 ½ Teaspoons Poppy Seeds

Slow Cooker Spicy Sausage Dip

This sausage-based dish certainly packs a punch, and its low-maintenance prep makes it perfect for any party or gathering. Just toss all of the ingredients into a slow cooker and let cook on high until the cheese is melty and bubbly. Alternatively, you can prepare this recipe in a pot over the stove! Simply put, if you have a kitchen, you can make this dip.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Spicy Italian Sausage, browned and drained
• 16 oz Sour Cream
• 8 oz Cream Cheese, room temperature
• 2 Cups Shredded Colby-Jack Cheese
• ¼ Cup Green Onion, sliced
• 1 Jalapeño, minced
• 1 Cup Salsa
• 1 Loaf Martin’s Potato Bread, baked into Toast Crackers

Why it Works

We love this dip for New Year’s Eve because it’s got just enough spice to keep it interesting, yet is palatable for those who don’t want to feel the burn all night. Plus, it’s got all the best elements of a great dip: flavorful meat, a few spices and herbs, and plenty of cheese.

Buffalo Chicken Flatbread

Did you know Martin’s Dinner Rolls can be flattened into a delicious base for flatbreads or pizzas? As such, it is transformed into a blank canvas for all kinds of tasty appetizers, including this buffalo chicken variation.

Once flattened and warmed, top your Martin’s flatbread with cream cheese, shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, shredded cheese, and bleu cheese. Then, place back in the oven until cheese is melted, and serve with a buffalo-yogurt drizzle and green onion!

Ingredients:

• 1 Pack Martin’s Dinner Potato Rolls
• 2 Cups Rotisserie Chicken, shredded
• ½ Cup Green Onions, diced
• ½ Cup Buffalo Sauce
• 1 Celery Stalk, minced
• 1 Cup Whipped Cream Cheese
• 1 ½ Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• ½ Cup Bleu Cheese
• 1/3 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt
