Potluck ideas!

Hi. Having a potluck at work this weekend and I need a dish that could be a maincourse that could be in a crockpot or that can be refridgerated and eaten cold. Not to mention healthy and tasty! Serving about 20 to 25! Thanks in advance!

I like to take this to potlucks. I eliminate the nuts and the brown sugar, and I substitute the fat free versions of everything, and use splenda instead of sugar. It's always a hit! Just adjust the recipe to feed more people.

I have a very large crockpot, so when I make this for a party I go to Sam's or Costco and get one of the HUGE pork loins, cut it up into manageable chunks, up the rest of the ingredients to match the starting weight of the meat and let it cook all day. I also don't actually make the juice into the sauce, its great as it is straight out of the crockpot. I never have leftovers and everyone always asks me for the recipe! Hope this helps!
