Whether you're hosting a Super Bowl party or inviting friends over for a baby shower, deciding what food to serve can be nerve-wracking. With a bit of planning, it doesn't have to be. The key is to make delicious items that are easy to prepare in bulk and will satisfy hungry guests, like deli meats and cheeses. Here are some grub ideas for your next party.

Easy Party Dishes

Pigs in a Blanket

A perennial favorite, you can never go wrong with these classic appetizers. Choose spicy chorizo, turkey, or pork sausage as the centerpiece inside flaky puff pastry dough. Create dipping sauces by combining ketchup and mayonnaise, or, for a gourmet touch, sriracha and grainy mustard.

Deli Meat Platter

Ham, turkey, salami, and prosciutto are just a few of the many choices available. Combine them with cheddar, Swiss, Gouda, and other favorites for non-stop munching. Don't forget the crackers, bread squares, and condiments.

Pulled Chicken Sliders

Skip the outdoor grilling and prepare easy, satisfying barbecue chicken sliders. Buy a whole cooked chicken from the deli, heat it up, and shred the meat with a fork. Add sweet or spicy barbecue sauce and serve the chicken on slider buns. Include a bowl of sweet relish and store-bought coleslaw to complete the party dish.

Turkey Meatballs

Ground turkey transforms into tasty meatballs with minimum effort. You can make dozens of them at a time in the oven. Combine the turkey with a mix of bread crumbs, fresh parsley, Parmesan cheese, garlic and onion powders, plus one egg for binding. Bake them for at least 25 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. Serve with a side of marinara sauce.
