I need a great recipe for a pot luck at work. Can anyone help?

Question

Preferably easy, no mess, moderate in cost and transportable.
I work with people who will eat almost anything.

Answer 1

2 (10 oz.) pkgs. frozen chopped
broccoli
2 c. herb stuffing mix
1 c. grated Parmesan cheese
6 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 sticks margarine, softened
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Cook brococli according to package directions; drain well. In a medium bowl, combine cooked broccoli, stuffing mix, cheese, eggs, margarine, salt and pepper. Roll mixture into small balls, about 1 inch. Freeze, well covered, for at least 3 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place frozen balls on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake until brown, about 15 minutes.

Answer 2

This is a good one!!!! It is a little messy but people will thing you are a superstar!

Black-Eyed Peas Cornbread

1 pound of ground beef
1 (15-ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained
1 cup chopped yellow onions
3/4 cup or cream-style corn
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white cornmeal
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup cooking oil
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 jalapeño peppers (bottled or fresh), chopped
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking dish.
Place beef in large skillet over medium heat; cook until just beginning to brown. Drain and crumble; set aside

Add peas, onion, corn, cornmeal, flour, buttermilk, oil, eggs, salt, baking soda, peppers, and cheese to a large bowl in the order given. Mix well - Add beef and then pour into baking dish

Bake for 40 - 50 minutes or until firm and slightly browned.

I like to eat mine with collard greens, pickled okra, and sliced home grown tomatoes. But you would not need that for a potluck.

It is very good! I got that from my grandmother - a "dirty south" favorite!

Answer 5

Nachos are simple and a BIG hit. I don't know what ingredients you have to work with, but here is a simple one that I use for surprise visitors:

8 corn tortillas cut into 8 pieces each (fry them in oil or bake them until crisp)

Layer the tortillas with black beans, diced tomatoes, sour cream, shredded lettuce, black olives, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Add a layer of ground pork, browned, for a non-vegetarian option.
