POT LUCK BAKED BEANS

1 lb. bacon, cut in pieces
2 med. onions, chopped
2 lg. green bell peppers, cut in chunks
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

Combine all ingredients and put into a large casserole dish or can use 2 smaller ones. Bake, covered, in slow oven (325 degrees) for 3 hours. Stir occasionally.

Answer 6

Try a bread bowl with spinach dip.

Get a loaf of pumpernickel bread and cut it into bite sized chunks.

For the dip:
1 pkg frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 large container (500ml) of sour cream
Miracle whip dressing equal amount to the sour cream; use the sour cream container
1 pkg Knorr dry vegetable soup mix
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
a few drops of pepper sauce or Tabasco.

Mix the ingredients and let them sit together over night.
Put the dip in a bowl and put the bread chunks around it on a large platter ... it's always a hit.

Or
Mix a package of cream cheese with 3 tbsp of sour cream and a package of taco seasonings
Layer on a plate
Cover with layers salsa, chopped lettuce and grated cheese.
Serve with nacho chips.

Both recipes are easy and are well liked.
Good luck

Answer 7

This always seems to be a big hit anywhere I take it. It is called Pizza Dip.

Combine 1 package of cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of sour cream. Spread in the bottom of a 10x13 pan (or equivalent rectangular pan). Next pour on 1 jar of Pizza Sauce. If you like pepperoni, tear it into pieces and spread over sauce (as much or as little pepperoni as you like). Next, cover with 8-12 ounces of shredded Mozzarella cheese. Top with any or all of the following:

Chopped bell peppers (green/yellow/red/orange)
Sliced fresh or canned mushrooms
Sliced black olives
Chopped onions

I try to "decorate" it for the holidays. Christmas...using red & green peppers as part of the topping. Halloween...using orange peppers and sliced black olives, etc.

&/or any other favorite toppings. Very simple and you came make the dish exactly the way you like. We usually use tortilla chips for dipping, but again it's your choice. Probably want to stick with something fairly strong because of the cream cheese, though (crackers, Doritos, Fritos, etc.) Good luck!

Answer 8

Quesadilla

Flour tortilla
green onion
cheese (whatever you prefer)

grease a skillet (or use PAM) heat the flour tortilla, put the cheese and green onion on top, on one side of the flour tortilla and then fold the other side of the tortilla on top.

Cook until cheese is melted just about 1-2 minutes, on medium heat.

Answer 9

If you don't cook, cheese and crackers are always good. Sometimes I take a big relish tray with pickles, olives, cheese, veggies, etc. - no cooking involved, and everyone likes it. You could talk to the hostess and see if she needs paper products, chips, etc as well. If she entertains alot she may appreciate the help with the little things. Good Luck!
