what to do...what to do...

October 5th, 2012 at 03:00 am

The potluck that was scheduled at work tomorrow, was moved to Tuesday. (about 15 people) (Monday is a training day and the whole company goes offsite for Columbus day)...

It is also my month to prepare a meal on Tuesday for our homeless teen shelter. (about 15 people)

So I need to prepare a full meal for the shelter and I volunteered a main dish for the potluck lunch at work..

I figure I can either cook the meals on Sunday ..or Monday night.

I need a couple of crowd pleasing dishes that are easy and relatively inexpensive. My first go round with websites included chili, soup...

Maybe an enchilada type dish...hmmm. Any ideas?

    What about Grandma's Corn Pudding?

    1 can regular corn, 1 can cream corn, 1 sm pkg cornmeal, 16 oz pkg shredded cheese, 1 tbsp sour cream, and 1 thingy of green onions diced(makes about 8 - 10 good sized servings)*Can add an egg or two for extra puffiness, but not required.

    You just mix all the ingredients together and bake at 375 for about 45 minutes. Yum! (I always get compliments on this dish.)

    Or, Cottage Cheese Roast

    roughly 2 cups Special K cereal (plain!!), 16 oz cottage cheese, 2 tbsp McKay's Chicken seasoning (or other chicken seasoning ...), one egg, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. 1 cup diced onions.

    Mix all together (add more special k if too runny). Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes covered, and then about 20 minutes more uncovered. Makes about 12 servings.

    Another big hit. Smile

    The old standby of spaghetti is cheap and easy to make from scratch. Just remember that you can never add too much garlic. Smile

    A taco bar? Taco meat could be be done up on the weekend, and then reheated in a crockpot on the day. Taco fixings on the side. You could offer a couple of different taco meat fillings, if you have a couple of crockpots (or is it just me with more than one?? Smile )

    I'd sure like any of these things mentioned, but that enchilada dish sounded really good!
