Help Pot Luck!

SamIam · 02-04-2010, 06:10 PM

I have been invited to two pot lucks in the next few days. For one of them I am going to fix my infamous taco salad. I get pretty creative with it and it usually seems to go over well. But I am drawing a blank on the second (and no, I don't want to make taco salad twice). Does anyone have a suggestion for a dish that doesn't use too many expensive ingredients and is relatively simple to fix? Thanks!

Corn Casserole

1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
1 1/4 sticks of butter
2 eggs
1 8 oz. container sour cream
1 can corn, drained
1 can cream corn

Mix everything together, spread into a 9x13 baking dish, and bake uncovered at 350 for 45-50 minutes.

Sounds just the ticket, Clod. Thanks! Some people have creative blocks and I was having a cooking block (not to be confused with blog).

For something sweet try a jello salad.

1 large tub of cool whip
1 large box of orange geletin (jello)
1 half package of marshmallows
some crushed walnuts (optional)
1 large can of drained orange slices

Mix all together and chill until ready to serve.

Although boring but how about cupcakes?

Speaking of jello, jello shots?

Okay, the jello shot idea is a joke. :p

I have never made a jello salad but that looks good.
My mom loves jello.

Dip for corn chips from a friend of mine.
I do not have ingredient amounts.

cream cheese spread on the bottom of a pan
topped with salsa
then with cans of chili
then with more salsa
then with cheese
and baked in the oven until melted/warm
