During the holidays I like to keep things as simple as possible because you know things will get hectic regardless. When I have to take food to a holiday event, I find that buying pre-made food items somewhere like Sam’s Club or making an appetizer tends to be easier than a main dish or dessert. And since all my friends and I have kids, I take kid-friendly appetizers.

Here is a super simple salami appetizer. This appetizer only has three ingredients and kids love it.

Simple Salami Appetizer

Ingredients:

1 Gallo salami chub

½ cup brown sugar

Honey mustard

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Cut salami into even size square pieces. Keep in mind that salami will shrink when cooked.

3. Coat salami with brown sugar and spread out on a baking stone.

4. Bake 20 minutes or until the salami are slightly crispy.

5. Let cool for 5 minutes before taking them off the baking sheet.

6. Serve with honey mustard.

With the leftover salami, I recommend making a breakfast casserole. This is an easy way to use up any leftover meat. The best part is you can make this casserole ahead of time while you are making the first recipe. The holidays are so crazy this is a great way to save yourself some time.
