Pasta & Ham Salad
Cooked medium sized shell roni
diced ham,
diced swiss cheese
frozen peas
Dressing
Mayo, yellow mustard, pickle relish, and horseradish (not horseradish spread). All according to taste.
Mix together.
Put in fridge to blend the flavors for at least 2 - 4 hours.
The horseradish is what really makes this.
I don't really like a heavy mayo flavor so I do what my mom did to all of her salads. I beat some milk into the mayo before adding the rest.
Sorry I never measure this. Just make in quantities for the # of people expected.
My kids liked this even when they were little.
My husband prefers half cheddar, half swiss.

How about a big pot of chili..
do in a slow cooker and you can have time to relax before the company arrives.......
good crusty bread and a big salad go right along with the hot stuff....
..can't beat it....

Here is a sure winner every time! Whenever I make a big pot of these tasty meatballs they are the hit of the party and there is never anything left. So easy to make.
Cottonboro Farms Meatballs:
1 large bag of small frozen meatballs from Sam’s Club or B J’s.
1 4 lb. Jar of grape Jelly
2 Small bottles of Chili Sauce.
Mix Chili Sauce and Grape Jelly in slow pot until hot. Add meatballs and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to coat all meatballs.
It is that EASY! Enjoy!

I would really appreciate it if someone would share a recipe with me that is a tried and true sucess for a get together. Thank you all in advance.

It is a wonderful salad because it is all veggies, a version of pasta salad without the pasta. I add black beans. I get tired of salads laced in mayo that sat out all day.
