I personally like to make Hawaiian teriyaki meatballs for Christmas pot lucks.

Would a case of beer be acceptable?

I never take anything, since I dont go anymore.
When I did attend, I always looked for the spaghetti hot dish. Love that stuff.
Tuna noodle was always good, and anything with cheese and potatoes.
I am MAGA.

At a party once and someone made a crab Rangoon dip. I'm guessing it was fried egg roll wrappers for chips. I damn near ate the whole thing. Had a hard time walking away from it. It was guuuud.

Meatballs, lasagne, stuffed shells, basically casarol. They stay hot during the service, and make a good cheap dish.

I usually make pulled pork or brisket. They stay warm in a crock pot with sauce. Bought dinner rolls or buns at SAMS. I did them all the time for my daughter's band stuff in HS, it was always some of the first stuff to go. Cheap and easy to make, plus easy to serve.

I love potlucks, as I love to have a choice as to a variety of foods. But, I'm also someone who just won't eat anyone's cooking, so I usually try to find out who brought what. We used to have a guy that fished a lot, and would always bring fish. I can't say as I have a favorite, but I love fried chicken, potato salad, green bean casserole, and spaghetti dishes.

Chili Relleno casserole with chicken, It's easy and more suits my taste buds than Plain on Plain with a little bland tossed in.

Our little church has an eating meeting every Wednesday night. My wife and I take turns making different dishes and desserts. Tonight I made what I'm calling a Mexican Chicken Salad casserole and the wife made a couple of coconut pies. We both brought home empty dishes. One of my favorite places to look for ideas of food to take is here: " Deep South Dish: Recipes for Potlucks Church Socials Picnics Lots of good easy and tasty recipes and ideas.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost....

At many potlucks, you'll find four simple salads, three crockpots of beans, four trays of cheesy potatoes, and two dozen cakes. Don't bring those.
Nobody ever brings meat (although sometimes that's the sponsor-supplied item). I often smoke a turkey breast or a pair of roaster chickens. Cluadia makes a killer fruit salad and together we get invited EVERYwhere. Had one at a private home last week where I provided Bloody Marys (four kinds) and Claudia made her fruit salad. Already have two more invites.

I like to make a breakfast scramble. Saute up onions, bellpeppers, mushrooms and chorizo or breakfast sausage. Put on a plate. Scramble 18 eggs. When the eggs are done mix in vegis and sausage. Put in a caserole dish and top with a healthy portion of grated cheese.
I've never brought leftovers home.

It should. We try to buy big heads.
Just asked the head cook. She said sometimes the leaves on those are interwoven and hard to get apart.
Try it. If it doesn't work,
Chop it up, Soften some chopped onions in butter and a little olive oil, Add the cabbage, get it to start to carmelize a bit, add cooked haluski noodles. Salt, pepper till your happy. Some add caraway.
If you already make haluski, sorry.

Haluski, and if you aren't a too dang tight, Cook some kielbasa and add it.
Or make it as a casserole

Where do you find cabbages that actually have loose leaves? so heres a little trick. i buy the biggest cabbages i can find in the fall. the IGA near my camp has huge ones for a buck each. you might need to hit a farmers market and pay a premium though. i then take the cabbages and wrap them in freezer paper and stick them in the freezer for at least several weeks and up to 6 months. then take them out and put them in a pot of water and heat them until almost boiling. shut it down and just let it sit. the leaves peel themselves. the outside ones are usually no good but the others peel real easy.

Coffee, and water John. If any water got changed, it was done quietly, everyone was well behaved. Well, except me of course.
