I need a new idea for a potluck supper. But there are a few rules...

1. Both adults and children will enjoy

2. Easy to transport

3. Only small microwave to reheat

4. 30 to 40 people attending

5. Not too expensive

6. Not too spicy

7. Different

Thanks

I haven't made this, but I recently had a pasta salad that they added boiled potatoes to. It had some pickles in it and probably mayo. Everyone loved it.

I like the little bite size pinwheels. You use tortillas spread with cream cheese and a slice of meat and roll them into a cylinder. The cylinder is then cut into little rounds. Some people like to put something crunchy in the middle before rolling like dill or sweet pickle. You could do sweet ones with Nutella and banana also.

I like those too Tartan. I put black olives, green onion and pecans in mine.

Make it in your crockpot/slowcooker at home.
Easy to transport and no need to reheat.
Depending on timing, you may not even need to plug it in when you get to the event.

Lots of options to choose that will meet your other requirements.

One of my lfavourites is to take either scalloped potatoes or garlic mashed a la crockpot.
Most people will never take potatoes.
Bonus ... most people devour either of the above ... and you will be a hero!

One time for a Super Bowl party I made a crock pot full of ravioli. I bought the frozen cheese ravioli and boiled it ahead of time - then put it in the crock pot layering it with the sauce. Everyone loved it - they ate it all and I had a large crock pot. You could do meatballs too. Really anything you want to keep warm you could put in a crock pot.

I have done meatballs in the crock pot. Always popular especially since many potlucks are low on meat and high on starches. In a hurry cheat with frozen meatballs.

For the roll ups---I add a bit of packaged dry Ranch Dressing Mix into the cream cheese....

I always find vegetables and fruit lacking at pot lucks, so I generally bring crudites or fruit salad. Fruit is always a hit with kids. One thing I like to eat at potlucks is Mexican 7 layer dip - salsa, beans, sour cream, cheese, etc. - with tortilla chips or pita chips

Cornbread Salad is great for potlucks; easy to make - just layering; no heating and goes with any other dishes. I have used Paula Deen's Recipe and just change it up with either what I have in the refrigerator or what others like/don't like. Hope this helps. ENJOY!
