Question by earwaxyness: Best potluck recipes without a lot of work?
I’ll be graduating from college soon. We’re planning on having a little backyard potluck/BBQ/lunch thing for 10-15 people max. I’ll also be moving the very next day. Current I live in the Southwest so the temperature on the day we have it will likely be over 100, maybe as high as 110.
I’m looking for easy, tasty, somewhat ok in the heat (will have a cooler or two obviously), not too time consuming foods to serve. Thank you.
Can you help? Leave your own answer in the comments!

If it is going to be that warm, why don’t you just do ribs or chicken or burgers on the grill and serve cold salads with it. It almost sounds like it will be too hot to eat anything hot. Congratulations!

This is absolutely wonderful, had it tonight for dinner.
1 4 – 5 pound boneless pork roast
1 large can cranberry sauce
2 packages of Lipton onion soup mix
In slow cooker put cranberry sauce and soup mix. Mash with a fork to blend. Place pork roast on top and spoon some of the mixture on top of the roast. Cook on high for 5 – 6 hours. Remove meat and cover with foil to keep warm. Mash together 2 tablespoons margarine with 2 tablespoons of flour. Stir into sauce and let thicken. Slice pork roast and return to slow cooker.
I served buttered noodles with mine. You could also do this and put cooked, buttered noodles in another crock pot on low.
Everyone will want the recipe.
