Work pot luck
Any ideas what to bring? I dont want to have to cook anything and there are enough desserts being brought in already. Someone is making lasagne and spin & artichoke dip.
Im sure this has been posted multiple times, im just too lazy.
Thanks

Re: Work pot luck
what about something in a crock pot? chili soup beef stew meatballs and sauce with rolls for subs sliced roast beef for hot roast beef sandwiches
crockpot stuff is super easy to make! and you can make it ahead of time, as long as you have a way to warm it up before they eat it.
or... what about a big salad with some grilled chicken or something on it to make it more filling?

I know you said you don't want to bake but this is minimal baking
Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
Ingredients
* 1 pound ground white meat chicken * 1/2 small onion, grated * 2 cloves garlic, grated * 1/2 cup parsley, chopped * Salt and freshly ground black pepper * Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), for drizzling * 2 tablespoons butter * 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s) * 3 scallions, green and white parts thinly sliced * Store-bought, good quality bleu cheese dressing for dipping * A couple of handfuls celery sticks * A couple of handfuls carrot sticks
Yields: 4 snack-size servings
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with the onion, garlic and parsley, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Flatten out the meat in the bowl and score it into four portions using the side of your hand. Shape each portion into four balls – you should have sixteen meatballs in total.
Arrange the meatballs on a nonstick sheet pan and drizzle them with EVOO. Place in the oven and bake until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
While the meatballs are baking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the hot sauce and whisk to combine. Toss the baked meatballs in the hot sauce to coat.
Transfer the meatballs to a serving platter and spike each one with a toothpick or serving fork. Place the bleu cheese dressing in a small serving bowl and garnish with scallions. Serve the meatballs with the bleu cheese dressing, celery and carrot sticks alongside.

I usually bring pulled pork in the crockpot, so it is easy to reheat.
A cold pasta dish is always something people bring. Penne with grape tomatoes and mozzarella is a good idea.
