What is a good and simple dish for a potluck?

One of the ladies is bringing a spinach dip and another is taking a bean salad. I want to take something that doesn't require a lot of prep time and will go over well.

Ideas: meatballs w/ red sauce or bbq meatballs. Kielbasi w/ brown sugar (so easy to make). I once went to a potluck and a women bought 10 micky d's cheese burgers and cut them into forths, it was so funny!

If you have a crock pot or a chafing dish, buy some pre-made frozen meatballs, pour campbells mushroom soup over them and simmer in the hot pot/chafing dish. Sort of like fake swedish meatballs! You could also do little smokies in BBQ sauce also in the crock pot/chaking dish. if you don't have a hot plate, how about this... tomato wedges, black olives, and sliced red onions marinated in balsamic viniagrette (Newmann's own is a good one) served with crusty bread. My family loves it! hint: marinate the onions and olives for a longer time so they pick up the flavor of the dressing, then add the tomato at the last minute so they don't get too mushy. You could also do sliced tomato and fresh mozzarella cheese slices drizzled with balsamic and basil, served with bread...like a quick and easy bruschetta. Always a big hit, and fresh and easy.

While it's in the oven prepare your stove top according to the directions on the box.

Add mushrooms then stove top and bake for another 20 minutes or so.

There is also a similar recipe on the back of the stove top box.
