Going to potluck don't know what to bring?

Question

I am going to a potluck this weekend and i have no clue what to bring besides the usual sloppy joes or baked beans i woulld like something different but simple

Answer 1

I came up with this a few years ago and it has done well at Pot Lucks...

Tropischetta

1 can well drained pineapple tidbits
¼-1/3 cup olive oil
¼ cup? sundried tomatoes packed in oil (cut thinly in julienne style)
2-4 cloves chopped garlic
2/3 tbs of freshly chopped basil
(ALL “measurements” are approximate)

Heat oil in a skillet and then add well drained pineapple. Cook for a few minutes until pineapple starts to become soft. Add garlic and cook for a few more minutes, add tomatoes, cook for a few more minutes, add basil stir for another minute or so and remove from heat. Let cool to and place in a glass bowl. After it has cooled, cover and refrigerate.

Serve over fresh Italian bread… it can be toasted if you wish, but not necessary. Let me know if you can think of a better name for this. I came up with this about 5 years ago and never actually named it, but since it was inspired by bruschetta and is made with pineapple, I thought Tropischetta might be a decent name.

Good luck and let me know if you liked it.

Answer 2

If you are looking for something hot to bring in a crockpot, how about crockpot lasagna??? I have brought this to functions at work, and it is always the first pot empty!! SUPER easy to make...and SUPER DELICIOUS!!

CROCKPOT LASAGNA

1 lb ground beef or turkey, browned and drained
8 lasagna noodles, uncooked
1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce, any style
1 teaspoon oregano or italian seasoning
1/3 cup water
1 (1 small) can sliced mushrooms, drained (optional)
1 small onion, chopped (optional)
15 ounces ricotta cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

Break noodles into pieces and place in bottom of greased crockpot.
Stir seasoning into browned meat and place atop lasagna noodles.
Layer half sauce and water/half mushrooms/half ricotta cheese/half mozzarella cheese over meat.
Repeat layers.
Cover and cook on low for 5 hours.

Answer 3

"French Rice" 1 10-oz can French Onion soup; 1/2 c melted butter; 1 4.5-oz can/jar sliced mushrooms; 1 8-oz can sliced water chestnuts; 1c uncooked rice.

Lightly grease 10x6x2 covered baking/casserole dish. Combine (in dish) melted butter and soup. Drain and reserve liquid from mushrooms and water chestnuts Add water to reserved liquids to total 1-1/3c. Add mushrooms, chestnuts, liquid, and rice to soup/butter mixture. Stir. Cover and bake at 350deg for 1 hour. Dish reheats and
travels well + little mess to clean and the baking time affords the time to get ready!
