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.
Our Thanksgiving office potluck was today....and I'm already Thanksgiving'd out... :vomit![]()
I brought a huge pan of cornbread dressing that would feed at least 60 people....and it was the first thing GONE.
So for my brilliant dressing, I have to give myself one of these:

I worked hard on it, dammit!![]()

I wonder if people will need this
when they are barfing later![]()
I wonder if Tpark's office potluck is roasted corn, and funnel cakes![]()
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.![]()
.
I'm a good cook, thanks.![]()
When the subject is food I need more info.
What's a potluck?
What exactly is the dish you made?
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 and say a little prayer for their families.
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.![]()
Tpark? and potluck? when he's done good luck finding anything left in the pot![]()
nice concept
So who stinks at cooking in your company?
I don't know yet, there were things there that I was just too chicken to try.![]()
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.
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.![]()
It's not dry if you soak it in a brine the night before.
I take it off the last 20 minutes...![]()
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.![]()

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!
we call it FAT WEEK here at work instead of potluck- 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 es when boiling the chicken: salt, pepper, garlic powder, comino and poultry seasoning
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.![]()
