Macaroni %26amp; smoke gouda
Ingredients
6 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 pound ditalini or small elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons bleached all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1/4 pound smoked Gouda cheese, grated
Italian flat-leaf parsley to garnish
Method
Preheat the oven to 375.
Put the water, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the oil in a large, heavy saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes. In a small, heavy saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the white pepper and continue whisking until the sauce is smooth and thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 8 minutes. Remove the white sauce from the heat and stir in the cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese melts. Lightly grease a 6 1/2 by 10-inch casserole dish with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter. Combine the cheese sauce and macaroni in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Pour into the prepared casserole and bake until lightly golden on top, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving hot.Family potluck dinner this weekend...baked macaroni and cheese recipe? please?

Potluck help!! i need a good quick recipe for appetizers! does anyone have any?
i want something quick and easy! if possible something spicy! if not that's ok but anything will help! no spinach dip or salsa please those are already taken on the list! :)Potluck help!! i need a good quick recipe for appetizers! does anyone have any?
I've got a great, simple recipe for a cheese log that's always a huge hit. Now don't judge until you've read the entire recipe. People rave about this log, and it never fails that they think it's some imported specialty cheese... when in fact it starts out as Velveta.
- 1 sm. package of (unsliced) Velveta cheese (makes 2 logs, or the really little package makes one.. Sorry.. I forget the ounces)
- chopped walnuts
- garlic powder (NOT garlic salt!!!)
Bring cheese to room temperature. Using desired amounts (be generous with garlic powder of the above ingredients, mix all together well with hands.
1 Tablespoon (or equal parts), mixed together:
- paprika (good mild Hungarian paprika is best)
- chili powder
- nutmeg
Lay out a piece of waxed paper
- If making 2 logs, break mixture in half.
- Roll one have into about a 6-inch log
- Spread seasoning mixture out on waxed paper and roll log in mixture, making sure to coat entire surface, including the ends
- Shape the other log and roll in mixture
- wrap each in plastic wrap and put in a container or wrap again in foil.
This is a cheese spread, not something that should be sliced, so be sure log is brought out at least 1/2 before serving so that it's spreadable. If people slice it, they tend to slice giant chunks.
Put on a tray with crackers and a few small cheese spreaders.
I guarantee you, this is always a hit, and it's different. The flavor is amazing. There's never any left no matter where I serve it.Potluck help!! i need a good quick recipe for appetizers! does anyone have any?
A friend used to make Snausages. Basically cooked spicy Italian sausage (bulk, crumbled) with Velveeta. It looks gross and needs to be in a crock pot but people loved it. Serve with crackers or cocktail rye.
Even though someone took salsa, a hot con queso dip would be nice. Same deal, spicy salsa and velveeta.
I make a layered dip. On a platter spread refried beans (mix in hot sauce if you like) top with sour cream and shredded cheese. Sprinkle with olives, scallions and chopped tomatoes and jalapenos if you like.
Oh, and a really easy one is spread cream cheese in a pie plate, top with canned chili and shredded cheese and bake at 300 for 20 minutes or so to heat through, I've even nuked it at half power until it was hot.
Salmon Dip (always a fav at my house)
1 8oz block of cream cheese
1 can of smokes salmon (or regular canned salmon and liquid smoke to taste)
green onions
garlic salt
fresh jalapeno (optional)
Mix together and let sit for at least an hour. Serve with crackers and veggies.
Stuffed cherry tomatoes . Stuffed with goat cheese.
Just scrape out the inside of the tomatoe and fill with Goat cheese top with some bread crumbs(optional)
bake on 400 for 10 min
they are terrific and they look great!!!
SO SIMPLE
How about some pinto beans with pork and green chili?
Or bean soup with jalapeno?
Most potlucks I go to have beans, and they tend to go fast!
I kind of agree with the little smokies in BBQ sauce. Use a crock pot and get some frilly toothpicks to get them out of the pot.
little smokies wrapped in bacon throw them in some crockpot with brown sugar thier done when the sugar carmelizers oooh so good
Little smokies wrapped in bacon. sprinkle brown sugar over and bake for 30-45 minutes. Delicious!eczema treatment

Potluck Recipes?
So we are having a potluck here at work.... babyshower potluck.... The boss is bringing ham and turkey.... what should I bring? Any good ideas and easy recipes?? something economical...im on a budget....Potluck Recipes?
For a work potluck, you want something that is simple to prepare and can be brought and served without much extra heating or prep. Something that a lot of people enjoy and usually goes really quickly is a cold pasta salad. I know that's seemingly boring, but my husband and I remember many work parties where the pasta salad is the biggest hit. Try one with rigatoni noodles (veggie or plain), cheddar cheese chunks, diced red bell peppers, sliced pepperoni, lightly steamed broccoli, and italian dressing. Simple and really good!Potluck Recipes?
Who's in charge of cake or desert? Anyone? If not why not do a sheet cake or cupcakes...new cookie icings make it a snap to decorate (Betty Crocker tube or can and tips included)
If someone is doing a cake or something special then I suggest a simple sweet potato casserole...easy inexpensive and it goes great with ham %26amp; turkey
deviled eggs are always popular and cheap to make
Here's a great recipe I got from the Uncle Ben's site some time ago...but can't find it there now:

4. Combine oil %26amp; vinegar, stir into rice. Add onion %26amp; celery, mix well.

Ideas for ham recipe for potluck?
The company potluck is coming up. I have to be at work at 9 and we eat at noon. I'm supposed to make the ham, but don't want to get up in the middle of the night to put it in the oven. I experimented with a ';crock pot'; ham recipe I foind online, but it turned out stringy like a pot roast and not solid like ham is from the oven. Do you think I could cut the ham into slices and bake it in the oven while I get ready for work? Surely it wouldn't take as long because it wouldn't be a ';whole ham';. Any ideas?Ideas for ham recipe for potluck?

2 tsp. prepared mustard
1 tsp. minced onion
1 c. sour cream
1/8 tsp. pepper
8 oz. cooked noodles
2 c. diced ham
1/4 c. slivered almonds
Make sauce of first 5 ingredients.
In 2 quart casserole, place layer of half of cooked noodles. Cover with half of sauce. Repeat with second half. Top with slivered almonds.
Bake for 25-30 minutes at 325 degrees F.

(*-*)Ideas for ham recipe for potluck?
You can buy a cured ham, which is already cooked. It just needs heated through. Take a large roasting pan and pour in a can of dr. pepper. Rub dijon mustard, brown sugar and salt and pepper over the entire ham (coat the ham) Take sliced pinapples and pin them to the ham with whole cloves and toothpick a few cherries in the center of the pinapple rings. It makes a wonderful ham and should only take about an hour :)
This is how I would take your ham to work. Purchase a spiral ham (precut). Cook it per the package instructions. Slice and place in crock pot and put in fridge. Next morning plug it in at work and leave on low or warm and it will be ready for you at lunch. Nice hot sliced ham.
Ham reheats very well. I would cook it the night before.
Then in the morning, slice it and re-heat it in the oven (covered).
It's a little bit more money, but buy a honey baked spiral ham. They take like an hour to heat up and then you can put it in the crock pop to keep it warm.

Overnight Hashed Brown Potato Casserole (Cheese Potatoes)
Ingredients:
(8 servings)
2 lb Frozen hashed brown potatoes
1/4 lb Butter
1 pt Sour cream
1 can Mushroom soup
8 oz Cheddar cheese; shredded
1 Onion; grated or 1 T. instant minced onion
3/4 c Milk* (optional)
Instructions:
Cut butter into potatoes. Mix rest of ingredients together; pour over top of potatoes. Toss. *1/4 - 3/4 c. milk can be used in place of one-half of the sour cream. It will make a moister casserole, if desired. Bake in a 13x9'; pan at 350 for 1/2 hr covered and an additional 1/2 hr. uncovered. I have used Cheddar Cheese soup, but reduce the butter as it will be greasy with both. I also put additional shredded cheese on top during the second half hour of baking. Doubles well. Can be refrigerated overnight after mixing all together.
