American Bar Buffet Food Suggested by Savvy Mom Ruth Paget

American Bar Buffet Food Suggested by Savvy Mom Ruth Paget

You can buy all the following ingredients at Costco and probably at Sam’s Club for a nice bar tray dinner on football nights or for other sporting events:

-varied salami package

-homemade cheddar cheese cubes from Tillahook cheese

-apple slices

-toast squares with garlic butter

or

-lightly salted tortilla chips with salsa

Set up your bar tray in the following manner:

-place 8 – 10 different salami slices on a small plate

-cut a slice of cheese from a block of Tillahook cheese.  Sprinkle cheese cubes with paprika, if you like for extra flavor.  Place the cheese cubes in a small bowl.

-melt butter in the microwave and add dry garlic when it is done.  Toast bread and cut it into squares.  Spread the garlic-butter mixture on the toast.  Place the toast squares in a bowl.

-or

-serve lightly, salted tortilla chips with salsa

Arrange these items on a tray and refrigerate until ready to serve.

My favorite American beers are Firestone Walker from California and Blue Moon from Georgia and Kriek and Geuze from Belgium.

During weekdays when families do not always eat together, it is nice to have this tray available.  2 – 3 people can usually eat what is on this tray in one setting.
