What meat dish could I do in a crockpot for an office holiday party?

Question

I can start crockpot at 7:30 a.m. We eat at 11:30. Or could I do it the night before and finish it in the morning at work?

Answer 1

You can throw these together the morning and then dump it in the crockpot and leave it on warm or low. You can also make them the night before, put them in the fridge and then put them in the crockpot the next morning on high. Warning though... there won't be any leftovers... these are delicious!

Cranberry Party Meatballs

2 (1-pound) bags frozen cocktail-size meatballs (about 64 meatballs)

1 (16-ounce) can Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce

1 (12-ounce) bottle chili sauce

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon cayenne

Combine cranberry sauce, chili sauce, cumin and cayenne in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until the cranberry sauce is melted and smooth.

Add meatballs; stir gently to coat. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, 12 to 15 minutes or until meatballs are heated through. Place in chafing dish or slow cooker to keep warm.

Makes 30 servings.

Answer 2

get those sausages that are like an inch thick and lock and horse shoe shaped.. (does tht make sense? lol) Get 2 of those and chop them up into one inch pieces. Put them in the crockpot and cover them with 1 bottle of BBQ sauce, 1 small can of tomato paste and about 1 tsp of horseradish sauce, or 2 if you think it's too bland, test it about one hour prior to serving. It makes a thick sausy sausage dish :) Take it all to work, plug it in and let it cook, it'll be ready for lunch at 11:30 and it's oh so yummy.

Answer 3

You can make A LOT of things.. You can get frozen precooked meatballs add to crockpot with a jar or two of spagetti sauce and bring some rolls for meatball subs....

You can take the same meatballs and add barbecue sauce for an appetizer

You can cook some ground meat/drain and add manwhich and have sloppy joe..

You can take smoked sausage/kielbasa cut it into chunks, add one bottle HEINZ 57 chili sauce/ 1 15 oz. can of crushed pineapple and cook on LOW overnight... Serve with toothpicks...

You can make a pork roast... Buy pork roast cut off fat and brown.. Transfer to crock pot/ add beef broth to cover and cook 8-10 hours on high.. Until tender.. DRAIN and pull with forks until shredded.. Add back to crockpot and add bbq sauce serve on rolls....

I would cook the meal on LOW the night before and use the crock pot to keep it warm/serve. Good luck

Answer 4

You could do all kinds of things. Something simple that would only take a few hours to simmer is lil smokies in bbq sauce. That is usually a big hit at parties. Get about 3 packs of lil smokies at the store and the a bottle of bbq sauce would do. Simmer on low for four hours and when its time for the party just turn to warm. You could also go to the store and get the frozen Crock Pot meals and cook for four hours on low.

Answer 6

make a rump roast, start it at like 10 at night...
all you have to do is put the roast in there with about 1 cup of water, buy some Lipton Beefy Onion soup mix, and pour that on top of the roast.. and let it cook on low all night long.
then in the morning.. take a fork (it will be very tender) and shred it apart, with all the juices still in the crock pot.
and then take to work in the crock pot, keep it on low, and eat it on sandwiches.. NOTHING is better !! :)
good luck!

i do this all the time for work pot lucks and everyone loves it!!

Chili! It's a crowd pleaser and the crockpot is perfect for keeping it bubbling away. A co-worker of mine does it for every potluck and it's always a hit!
