It has to be a "hot" dish for some reason. Any easy overnight crockpot ideas or something like that. I drive an hour to work so I would rather it be something I don't have to get up at 3 a.m. to cook. Just something that is good for a Christmas party and easy to make with not a lot of ingredients.

This recipe makes the best cocktail meatballs. My sister and I bring them to our work potlucks each year and they go very fast.
3 large bags meatballs
2 16oz cans cranberry jelly (the ocean spray stuff)
2 jars of chili sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar
3 teaspoons lemon juice
sprinkle red pepper flakes
In a slow cooker or large sauce pan over low heat blend all the ingredients together and simmer for 1 hour or until warm
Keep warm at the party.

It is too out of the question. She is the hostess of the party she should at least provide a main dish and some finger foods. Hey she doesn't have to prepare them all she has to do is go to the store and they would most likely already have it made or make it for her. All she has to do is set it up pretty and pretend like she did it. I would suggest you bring a dish that is your specialty like some dessert or casserole. That way it is big enough to feed however many there are and it won't hopefully smell up you vehicle for a year. I would try the lockable rubbermaid food containers. Those are airtight and don't leak.

Krispy Creme donuts and vodka!
Seriously though try twice baked potatoes, this seems to be a favorite and it easy as well twice baked potatoes.
Boil potatoes for 45min, until cooked but not too mushy.
Mash the potatoes
Whip the potatoes with some butter and/or sour cream
Add cheese, peppers, onions, the kitchen sink, whatever!
Plop the entire mass into a baking dish and bake for an hour or put into individual baking cups, cupcake cups, and top with more cheese and bake for 45min.
Two hours of your time and the office will stare at it funny until someone takes the plunge and takes the first bite and then it will be gone!
Top Roman works too!

Barbecue smokies
Jar of favorite barecue sauce
Little smokies
Place both in crock pot and heat thoroughly. Supply skewers or toothpicks and allow people to enjoy. Since it doesn't have to cook completely, it doesn't take all night and it seems to be a crowd pleaser.
Another idea.
Chicken sandwiches
Can of shredded chicken
Pickle relish
Packages of hamburger buns
Heat chicken in crockpot until hot. Serve as chicken sandwiches and allow people to add their own relish.
If you like to cook, you could make any of the stew or soup type of foods before and then just reheat.

Chili is nice and easy...and you can take a bag of Taco Chips along with the crock pot to work...some shredded cheese that you add at the last moment will make it look nice! Have a wonderful time! Merry Christmas!

Meatballs. Buy a package of pre-made meatballs, a 12oz jar of grape jelly, and a container of hot sauce. Mix the jelly and hot sauce, add the meatballs, and stick them all in the crock pot to warm up and stew. Huge hit whenever I make it, and it's so darn easy. Sounds like it wouldn't work- grape jelly and hot sauce, but it's really good. Doesn't taste like grape jelly at all when it's done.

Greenbeans, corn, broccoli rice & cheese casserole, or chili. Just cook your dish the previous night and then plug up your crockpot as soon as you get into work. It should heat up by then.
