I first served these at a casual neighborhood get-together and had to print out copies of the recipe before everyone left!

The bold pastrami and creamy slaw combo is so unique and easy.

These are perfect for when you want something a little different but still stress-free—great for tailgates, casual birthdays, or backyard BBQs where people want bold, memorable flavors.

These are my comfort-food heroes. When I made them for my husband’s game night, the tray was empty before halftime.

They’re cheesy, hot, and so easy to pull together with frozen meatballs and store-bought sauce—perfect for casual Fridays, football Sundays, or busy weeknight get-togethers.
