Recommend a recipe...
I need some ideas for a pot luck recipe. My thought is to use the crockpot as it will be easy to get to work and plug in and there really is not other cooking options at work, other than a microwave. Thanks!
Others are already doing-
Hot beef sandwiches, Sweedish meatballs, Hot beef sandwiches, Wild rice soup , Chicken tortilla soup, Sloppy joe?s, Philly cheese steak sandwiches
Re: Recommend a recipe...
How many people will be there? I ask because the list so far sounds really entree heavy. It would be nice to have some veggies, chips, fruit, etc. Is that planned too?
If you want an entree, a slow cook chili might be nice.

This sounds good.
What about a taco or fajita bar? you could keep the pulled chicken, steak or beef warm in the crock pot (with some liquid like chicken stock so it doens't dry out) and then provide the fixings.
I was going to say soup, but there are already two. Chili is an option that would be quite a bit different then the two soups already there. I also made a really good ancho pork and hominy stew a few weeks ago. At least it would be different flavors from what is already going to be there. here is the recipe for that:

I love to do au gratin potatoes in the crockpot. They cook well and people do not usually bring them, but they are great filler, something vegetarians can eat, and typically go well with anything. Here are three different varieties.

This is more of an app but it's delicious in the crockpot:

We usually eat it with tortilla chips

I've made these calico beans recently and they are super delicious! I put them in a crock pot because it was a potluck and they were a hit.
A couple of changes I made to the recipe. I used apple cider vinegar instead of white wine vin. ,used dijon mustard instead of mustard powder, omitted the celery, and added 3 tbls sweet bbq sauce. Also, the Van De Camps pork and beans work best. I used Kraft? real bacon pieces in the package by the bacon bits rather than browning bacon.

Beef stroganoff. If you make it beforehand, you can throw it in the crockpot to keep warm. You could double the recipe for a large group. I LOVE this recipe and it is super easy.
1 lb ground beef
1 small white onion, chopped
1 8 oz. container sour cream
1 10 oz. can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 bag of egg noodles
Salt and Pepper to taste
Brown the ground beef with the onion, and drain. Reduce heat to low and add sour cream, mushroom soup, and salt and pepper. Cook on low until warmed through. Serve over cooked egg noodes. (OR, mix with egg noodles, and throw in the crockpot!)
