The Gluttony Begins: Office Potluck

[SpursWoman]

Our Thanksgiving office potluck was today....and I'm already Thanksgiving'd out... :vomit :sleep :lol




I brought a huge pan of cornbread dressing that would feed at least 60 people....and it was the first thing GONE. :wow

So for my brilliant dressing, I have to give myself one of these:

I worked hard on it, dammit! :lmao

[JoeChalupa]

I love Stovetop dressing. :)

Just kidding, I'm sure you can cook up a storm!!

We are not having an office Thanksgiving potluck this year and I'm glad.

[Suns Fan]

I wonder if people will need this

when they are barfing later :lmao

[mouse]

I wonder if Tpark's office potluck is roasted corn, and funnel cakes :lmao

[SpursWoman]

Mine was homemade .... :)

And maybe I'm just used to having to cook for a ton of people, but when you make something for a big group, shouldn't you at least double the recipe? Unless it's a dessert thing, I don't get it....

I made a homemade pumpkin pound cake with cinnamon glaze that but for the piece I took to bring home...is gone now, too. :smokin

I'm a good cook, thanks. :)

[Slomo]

When the subject is food I need more info.

What's a potluck?
What exactly is the dish you made?

[SpursWoman]

A potluck is a dinner where everyone brings a different dish...then have like a buffet. It's where you find out, exactly, which of your co-workers can't cook worth a shit and say a little prayer for their families. :lol


I made cornbread dressing....there's like a million and 1 variations, but mine was green onions & celery sauted in butter, ground beef browned with onions...then all mixed together with dried bread crumbs, soaked with turkey stock..covered with foil and baked for an hour. :)

nice concept :tu

So who stinks at cooking in your company?

[SpursWoman]

I don't know yet, there were things there that I was just too chicken to try. :lol

[MiNuS]

My perfect ThanksGiving meal would be:

Grilled food.Grilled ribs,fajitas,smoked Sirloin,and ofcourse Cabrito asado!

sigh. Thing is my wife is "traditional" with the DRY turkey and mash potatoes,corn, and stuffing.

[Summers]

Mm... sounds good. I personally like to take the foil off at the end, so the top gets a little dry and crispy. It absorbs more gravy that way. :lol

It's not dry if you soak it in a brine the night before.

I take it off the last 20 minutes... :)

[SpursWoman]

Oh, and I'm the new kid on the block (so to speak) around here ... so it was important for me that whatever I brought absolutely had to be good. :oops :)

[MiNuS]

My mother in law cooks it. BUT let me tell you,it is one of the most photogenic turkies on earth! With grapes and garnishes around the damn bird!


oh well!

[gay abc]

we call it FAT WEEK here at work instead of potluck :lol - the girls make me cook my famous king ranch chicken......

DADDY'S FAMOUS KING RANCH CHICKEN CASSEROLE


8-9 boiled chicken breasts (save a couple of cups of the broth)
2 cans rotel tomatoes (chunky style)
3 cans cream of chicken soup
2 small cans of sliced black olives (drained)
1 can whole kernel corn (drained)
2 bunches of green onions (chopped)
Corn tortillas
Velvetta cheese
Shredded Colby jack cheese


In large stock pot - simmer cooked chicken (I pull the chicken apart into bite size pieces), rotel tomatoes, cream of chicken soup, olives, corn, green onions and about 2 or 3 cups of the chicken broth for about 30-45 minutes

In large casserole dish - layer corn tortillas (slice them in about 1 inch squares), then velvetta cheese (use a cheese slicer), then chicken mixture (repeat) - last, put a top layer of corn tortillas and cover with the shredded Colby jack cheese - save a little of the green onions and olives for garnish

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45-60 minutes or until cheese bubbles and browns (not burnt)

I usually make this the night before and refrigerate it overnight - if you intend to make and serve it the same day/evening, the baking time should be reduced to half since the casserole will not be cold


Note: I use the following spices when boiling the chicken: salt, pepper, garlic powder, comino and poultry seasoning

[SWC Bonfire]

Cook the bird upside down in a portable hot cooker so that the breast gets marinaded in the juices from the dark meat. It works, but sometimes puts a scald mark on the outside of the breast. If presentation is your thing, you may have to stick to dry turkey.

Thanks!!

I'm actually LMAO at that ... I didn't have enough chicken stock last night for the dressing and I had no desire whatsoever to go back to HEB, so I grabbed some chicken out of the freezer and boiled it to make more. I told User I could make King Ranch chicken or chicken soup or something with all of this damn boiled chicken I had absolutely no need to cook.

You just saved me from having to actually find a good recipe. :elephant :lol

Rudy's Creamed Corn!!!!!!!!

[Shelly]

Alton Brown rules as does Rudy's creamed corn!

[SpursWoman]

I was going to make homemade creamed corn to bring that would put Rudy's to shame...but when I did the math and figured I'd be shucking, cutting and scraping about 60 ears of corn to make an acceptable amount, I figured I just don't like my job that much. :lol
