6 medium thick slices of French bread
1 medium onion, sliced thinly

Preheat broiler. Place bread on 11x17x1 baking sheet, broil 5 minutes or until slightly brown.; check frequently to prevent burning.
In a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, sauté onion with butter until onion is tender. In saucepan, bring water and seasoning to a boil. Pour hot mixture into six oven-proof soup bowls or mugs. Divide sautéed onion among each bowl, place a slice of toast on top, and sprinkle with cheese. Place bowls on 11x17x1 baking sheet to catch spill-over.

1/8 teaspoon chili powder, optional
1 15 ounce bag of unsalted pretzel sticks

Spread pretzels evenly on prepared baking sheets. Bake in oven for 4 minutes. Stir pretzels and bake an additional 4 minutes. Do not over bake as honey will burn. Let pretzels cool on baking sheet. Loosen pretzels from foil. Store in airtight container at room temperature.Serves 30

15 oz. can pumpkin
1 Tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
⅔ cup granulated sugar
21 oz. can apple pie filling

Caramelized Baked Meatballs
1 Homemade Gourmet Meatloaf Mix
2 lbs. ground meat of choice
2 eggs
1/2 cup ketchup
2 cups shredded cheese (I used 1 cup cheddar and 1 co-jack)
2 lbs. bacon
2 cups water
2 cups brown sugar
1 small onion sliced
Mix meatloaf mix, meat, ketchup, eggs and cheese. Form mixture into balls. Cut bacon slices in half and wrap a slice around each meatball, use a toothpick pushed through the meatball to hold the bacon on. Bake in a cake pan for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees. You can make the meatball appetizer without the bacon too. Remove from oven and drain grease. Put into a crock pot and add sliced onion. Put sugar and water in a small pot and bring to a boil. Pour over meatballs and let simmer for a few hours. The longer you let sit the crisper the bacon gets! Remove from crock pot, add toothpicks to the meatballs and serve to your family and friends. Enjoy!
