Answer 2

I bring many different dishes to pot lucks at my church. I have made a taco salad, salsa, cream cheese , and chips, and shrimp and cocktail sauce. When ever I bring shrimp it is gone when I take it home. I only bring that when the frozen shrimp are buy one get one free at Meijer. If they are not buy one get one free or buy one get the second half off it is really expensive.
Here is a recipe my mom makes a lot that may go over well
Calico Beans
1 Pound Ground Beef(my uses ground chuck) cooked
1/2 pound bacon cut up and browned
mix above ingredients together & add:
1/2 C Catsup
3/4 C Paked Brown Sugar
3 T. Cider Vinegar
1 TSP. Salt
1/2 C Chopped Onion
2 T. Dry Mustard
1 Large Can Pork and Beans
1 Can Lime or Butter Beans
1 Can Kidney beans
drain off part of liquid
------------------------------...
Mix well
Bake @ 350 for 40 minutes or in Crock Pot for two hours
My mom uses the crock pot so she can do other things while they cook.

Answer 3

Chicken-broccoli thingie [alfredo sauce from a packet, cooked chicken bits, crisp-cooked broccoli bits]--or a curried rice with raisins & walnut bits. Main point of covered dish is that it's easy to dish out [big spoon], requires no cutting or slicing to serve [buffet or cafeteria style and a line of Church Ladies with their plates] and tastes as good lukewarm as it would hot. Someone always brings sliced roast beast of some sort [or ham or chicken-wings] so think along the lines of a nice side-dish casserole.

Answer 4

You will probably see lots of chicken or tuna casseroles for this covered dish party. Try this recipe, it is sooo simple and yet sooo good!

"Baked Potato Casserole"
5 large baking potatoes, cooked and diced
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 lb. shredded cheddar cheese
1 pint sour cream
2 bunches green onions, chopped (sautéed in bacon grease)
salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients. Pour into casserole and bake 30 minutes at 325 . Serves 10-12.

Enjoy!

Answer 8

My favorite type of meal is a Cottage Cheese Loaf [also known as Special K Loaf]. It's main ingredients are cottage cheese, special k flakes, onion soup mix, eggs, nuts, etc. It's a vegetarian dish, and it is really good [and I hate raw cottage cheese]. The ingredients sound strange, but it is really good. Here's a site for a recipe:
