We are having a family get-together memorial day and I would like to take something besides a sliced ham. I have been taking ham for the last few years. We just had ham for Easter and I would like something different. Does anyone have a favorite dish for a potluck dinner. Thank you so much for any ideas or recipes.

The skillet chili Mac that is listed in this blog is very good.

And I ran across a very good beef recipe out of a cookbook at the library that is very easy & very good!

Thin small steaks pounded to almost paper thin
1 can of black olives
1 tin of anchovies...I know I know...but bare with me
1-2 TBSP capers.
Chopped Garlic to taste
Black Pepper to taste

You really don't need salt as the anchovies will take care of that.

Make a paste out of everything with your food processor and smear ~ thats a technical cooking term ~ right? =) on the steaks. cook them in a skillet or your favorite pan on the stove top. I always use half EVOO & butter. These are ridiculously delicious. And you can use cheaper cuts of meat because you start out with them thin.

do you like ribs? I make some that the meat just falls apart and is very yummy!!! I put them in a pan (make sure they do not cover each other)..Put some foil over them and slow bake them at 250 degrees for about 5 to 6 hours..During the last hour, take the foil off put your favorite bbq sauce and let them finish cooking...

double post :shock:

Do you have a smoker? We just smoked a turkey breast and it was awesome! Injected the breast with lemon juice, evoo and lemon pepper seasoning. We used crabapple wood and in the water pan, I put apple & orange juice with sliced up oranges and lemons, a bay leaf and some ground cloves, and a little wine :wink: and let it go.

You could do, chickens, a whole turkey, ribs, etc.

Good eats!!!

that sounds good will buy some ribs and make them, thanks for the recipe

Thanks everyone,for the recipes. It sounds like you are good cooks. I have ribs and turkey breast in the freezer and the steak recipe sounds very interesting. Did you use round steak or sirloin or something else.

Your welcome :wink: ..They are so tender and juicy..I make them just about everytime we have a cookout..

How long does this cook for. We tryed some pork chops in a nice smoker my DS won & they turned out like hockey pucks!. I need some help before we use it again!

eggplant parmisan is easy to make, easy to transport and bake.
