What is your go-to potluck dish?
Our church had a pot-luck Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. It was about an hour and a half after the Sunday morning service. They clear our all the chairs and set up tables in the sanctuary. I usually sign up for something like pasta salad but when I looked over the list of what others were bringing; I decided on sweet potato casserole instead. I pre-mixed it Saturday evening and went to my mother's house after service to mix the topping and bake it. (It has eggs in it.) It took more than twice as long to bake and we were about 40 minutes late to the dinner.
No more hot dishes for me! We live too far from the church to go home to work on things and I'm not missing the service. I was so frustrated! It was still a nice dinner and everyone took home leftovers; but still! I don't like rushing.
So back to cold dishes or something that can be reheated there easy enough. They put everything over those canisters in metal trays anyway. I always just buy the metal disposable trays to cook right in anyway.
Next year!
