" Go Bears!" Party Ryes

Submitted by Mareesme

"I used to call these Hanky Pankies (why is beyond me!). After I made them at my Super Bowl party the first time the Bears won many years ago, it's been a tradition every Super Bowl since. (7/5/07...Note: These are supposed to be served hot and kept warm, if possible. During the holidays I make a double batch and freeze them in large Ziplock bags with layers of wax paper or foil between each layer. Then you have a no-fuss appetizer when people pop by that you don't have to pry apart when you only want to bake a portion of them!)"

Have loved this appetizer since I was a teen. Called them Polish Mistakes--no clue why. I use 1 T Worcestershire. Must be served hot, right out of the oven. Crazy good.

It's crazy how good this recipe is! It comes together without much effort and tastes so good. Perfect for tailgating, parties or even pot lucks! You can keep it warm in a small crockpot and serve as a dip too!

I’d recognize this recipe anywhere! My mom used to make them wen I was a kid - they were a special treat and a favorite of my father’s. Only difference is we called them “Hanky Panky”. Thank you for this! Now I can make them for mom, and bring her a bit of nostalgia as a side dish.

This recipe has been around for at least 45 years, believe it or not. My sister-in-law's mom used to make them when I was little, and then my sis-in-law took over. She uses a hot sausage, so I don't care for them But with a mild or sage sausage, they are terrific.

My Grandma used to make these when I was young. I made these for our super bowl party and most everyone seemed to enjoy them. I halved the recipe. Thanks for sharing this one, brings back fond memories.
