- You need:
- Appetizer Finger Foods
- As long as I can remember "occasions" where we would gather to eat, there was always ham roll ups. Always a favorite for the men, women, and children alike, this ham roll up recipe is a sure winner!
- 1 •1 lb of sliced ham (you can use inexpensive packaged ham, like we do, or get the deli to thin slice it for you.),
- 1 •1--8 oz package of cream cheese
- •finely chopped green onions to taste
- 1 •1 Tbsp of Garlic powder
- 2 •2 Tbsp of Accent (leave this out if you're sensitive to MSG)
- Instructions
- 1 .Soften your cream cheese and add your green onions, garlic powder and Accent.
- 2 .Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on a piece of ham, then roll it, and cut into bite sized pieces. Usually one roll = 3 bite size pieces.
- They look so appetizing stacked next to each other on their ends covering a beautiful plate.
- **Tip** If you're using pre-packaged ham, dry each piece of ham between paper towels before spreading cream cheese mixture on them
