Any good recipes for a dish to take to a potluck tonight?

Tequitos Casserole





1lb. hamburger


1 pkg. taco seasoning


1-7oz. can of chopped green chilies


2 tbl.minced onion or onion powder


Fry hamburger until brown, drain. Add drained green chilies and onion. Add taco seasoning following directions on pkg. Put in bottom of 9x13 pan.





1 15oz. can mexican style chili beans.


Drained, but not rinsed. Layer on top of the hamburger mixture.





1 pkg of frozen tequitos cut into bite size pieces. I use Delimex shredded beef but any will do. You may need to thaw in microwave for about 5 minutes to be able to cut. Layer Tequitos on top of beans.





1 8oz. container of sour cream (1 buy 16oz. and use the extra for topping at the table for people if desired.


1 can of cream of chicken soup


1 19oz. can of enchilada sauce. Don't use more then 19oz. Red or green sauce. Either one is good.


Mix these ingredients well and spread on top of the tequitos. If it seems too runny add a little more sour cream.





2 to 4 cups of Mexican style shredded cheese. (This is basically a combination of chedder and mozzarella cheese if you can't find Mexican style) Layer this over the sour cream mixture.





1 6oz. can of large black olives, sliced. Spread these on top evenly.





Bake @ 325 for 30 - 45 min. Just until cheese is slightly brown and bubbly. Watch your time so it doesn't get to dark.





You may top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes %26amp; avocado after serving.





This is a big hit and I'm sure you would get great reviews for this dish.Any good recipes for a dish to take to a potluck tonight?

make anything. the person who gave you the chicken recipe gave a good idea. it was like ten years ago at work we had a few potluck lunches. The boss I worked for, each friggin potluck, the same dish, his friggin stringbean cassarole. hey, who doesnt like a good stringbean cassarole, but unless you're working minimum wage jobs, its the cheapest dish to make. Dont make a cheap dish. show some respect for people and some respect for yourself, spend a few dollars: make a meat dish that feeds a decent amount of people. make two dishes. make a meat dish, and make a vegetable dish. you could fry up twenty to thirty meatballs made from scratch. a good meatball is a little egg; parsley, little bit of breadcrumbs, spice, you make it not too small, a decent size, and then you fry it in a pan with some oil. the meatballs will be a little rare in the center, and thats acceptable to serve them that way, but after you fry them, you can bake them out a little in the oven, to make the centers cooked well. but how the centers are is your preference how you want them served. I personally like a pan fried meatball thats a little undercooked in the center. now you can bake your meatballs, you dont have to fry them. baked meatballs fall apart more. fried meatballs stay firmer much better. Personally I think fried meatballs are tastier. Ill repeat myself: its your choice whether you want to bake them out. if you make a big pot of homemade tomato sauce, well, a lot of people put their meatballs after they fry them, into the sauce. the meatballs will cook a little more in their centers while they simmer in the hot tomato sauce. ...fflo4122: poptarts and guinness stout? go f--- yourself up the a-- with a broke guinness stout bottle!!!! ...fu--- nerve of the jackass.
This is simple and easy to make you will need the following items


POOR MAN'S POT PIE


! can cream of mushroom soup


1 can cream of chicken soup


1 sleeve of ritz crackers


6-8 pot pies (cooked as directed)


1 cup grated cheese (sharp or medium)


1 8 oz bag of egg wide noodles (cooked and drained)





Have a large casserole dish prep by spraying with pam or light cooking oil





In a large mixing bowl , dump the soups and pot pies in and noodles, make sure you break up the pie crust on pot pies, mix to combine with a large spoon


Pour into your casserole dish, break up the ritz crackers for topping and spread over the top, sprinkle cheese on top of ritz





Place in preheated oven to 325 degrees, heat for about 20 to 25 minutes until cheese is melted. remove....
Most folks are either bringing dessert or salad. On top of that, you'll end up with tons of pasta dishes or those mini sausages in barbecue sauce. Here's an alternative you might enjoy serving (I get lots of raves about it when I take it):





Rice A Roni Salad





1 large box Chicken Rice A Roni


1 cup cubed smoked ham


1/2 cup chopped celery


1/2 cup chopped green onion


1 small jar pimento stuffed green olives, sliced


1/3 cup mayonaise


1 T curry powder





Make rice a roni according to package directions and cool. Mix in remaining ingrediants and chill. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or paprika.
Deviled DoDo Eggs are always a favorite starter.





hard boil your eggs, peel, split the eggs in half long ways, scoop out the yolks and mash the yolks. place the whites on a serving tray to wait for your filling.





add just enough mayo to moisten the yolk mixture.


Add enough Dijon mustard to color the mayo/yolk mixture back to yellow.


Add a couple of tablespoons of relish to the mixture (sweet or dill, whichever you prefer. the exact amount depends on how many eggs you use and how much you like relish. roughly 1 Tablespoon of relish per 6 eggs.)


Add salt %26amp; black pepper to taste.





fill the egg whites w/ the yolk mixture and dust with paprika.





you can also use other types of garnish besides the paprika. caviar %26amp; chives really dresses them up
POTLUCK CHICKEN AND WILD RICE





1 lg. pkg. UNCLE BEN'S庐 instant wild rice


1 can cream of chicken soup


1 can cream of mushroom soup


2 c. milk


3 lbs. chicken, cut into chunks





Combine all ingredients in a casserole dish or roasting pan. Mix well. Cover and bake 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees. Check toward end of baking time and add more milk if dry.
why waste your time


go to a fine deli - - lunch meats- - cheese - - condiments then salads as well as cooked dishes like spaghetti or raviolis chicken and baked beans I bet you can get Green Bean Casserole with fried Onion Rings


No wasted food you have to store No nasty cleanup like washing pot or pans the cost is not that bad and you keep people at work and there is no fear of someone getting ill


you don't do it every month


relax
Bring something different. Try bringing 2-3 boxes of Pop Tarts and couple six packs of Guinness stout.
