I agree isn't that the definition of Pot luck- you get whatever comes. But quite often someone coordinating the potluck decides to assign catagories. We had one woman once actually assign what dish each person was to bring -it wasn't side dish it was you bring baked beans, you bring coleslaw, you etc.
Any way Green bean casserole is a favorite here and at work. At least one will bring it sometimes 2 and it is always completely gone. If you mix it up and bake it the night before wait with the fried onions till the next morning if your going to heat it up and take it in the pyrex to go carrier, or if in a crock pot put them on 15 min or so(if you can) before your starting the potluck, but if not it will be ok to put them on top when you plug the pot in. You can also vary the recipe however you like add spices or make them cheesy.
