Potluck Recipes

Hello, just a fun little thread!

If you were to attend a potluck, what would you bring, and what is the recipe? Any reason this is your "go-to" dish?

Chili stretches far. My family also has a dizzying array of casserole recipes from which to choose. We usually wind up bringing one of those along with chili.

I like doing baked salmon with lemon and dill. It's easy and quick to make. it can be kind of expensive but it is worth it. I'm from the pacific northwest (Washington State) and naturally love salmon. I use This recipe at home all the time.

Ingredients (Makes 4 servings)


Directions

We need a recipe from you still lol

I literally just made this up on the spot*.




*because I don't usually follow recipes. I tend to just throw stuff together until it "looks right."

Steamboat's Top of My Head Chili

1 lb ground beef

1 onion, diced

1/2 lb pasta (spaghetti is a good choice)

1/2 lb kidney beans

1/2 lb tomatoes, diced

1 bell pepper, diced

hot peppers, to taste

chili seasoning, to taste

Water

Brown meat and drain. Throw all the ingredients into a large pot or slow cooker. Add water to cover ingredients (in pot) or to the safe maximum (in a slow cooker). Simmer for 4-8 hours

Now, I want you to make chili. lol

Depends really on who the people are that I am serving. But I do have a couple favorites.


Enchilada Pie

Coat pie dish with enchalada sauce
Layer Corn Shells
Refried Beans or Chili
Cheese
Meat &.....whatever else you like on tacos....onions, olives, tomatoes, mexican rice....
Layer Corn Shells on top
Salsa
Cheese

Its easy and very yummy as either a meal or dip or both


Alfrado Lasagna

I actually made this and other types at the 2014 gathering as our first opening dinner meal......none of it made it through the night lol

Same way you make any lasagna....just instead of a red sauce I used Alfrado Sauce and Chicken instead of hamburger with bacon sprinkled on top
