Hi Everyone!<br /><br />I need help! It's Holiday season, and as I'm traveling thru the bay area, my friend invited me to a holiday gathering, seems there are LOTS of those this time of year. Anyways, this is a potluck (also lots of those this year!). My problem is, I don't have an oven, or really any thing to cook any of my normal casseroles in. So I'm asking for advice!<br /><br />This is what I have equipment wise:<br /><br />I have a coleman propane stove. <br />I have a big 12" non-stick skillet, that's deep, maybe 1 1/2" deep on the sides (straight sides) and it has a lid . I also have a 1 1/2 quart pot, with lid (tho it doesn't sit quite right).<br /><br />So I could potentially build a casserole in the skillet, except I haven't a clue what to make in it.<br /><br />I'm not overly adept at Coleman stove cooking yet, but I'm getting there. Mostly I make lots and lots of soups (of various kinds).<br /><br />Anyways, I welcome recipes for a "casserole dish" (that's that the invitation says to bring). If it wasn't specific I could do a fruit tray or a veggie tray or a hummus tray, or something, and be ok, but this specifically says "Casserole dish". I've never been all that fabulous at casseroles, I can make enchilada's, but I wouldn't have any idea how to adapt my recipes for that to a stove top.<br /><br />I'm sure I'm not the only one approaching Holiday season and trying to figure out how to generate yummy shareable dishes for all the various potlucks, gatherings, etc that all seem to happen during the holidays.<br /><br />I'm not afraid of cooking, and I enjoy it (I used to make home made bread every day for years when I lived in a "normal" house, for instance) but I'm still getting my van living legs under me, and haven't been very adventurous yet on the cooking/kitchen side.<br /><br />Maybe I need to think about a cold/non-cook casserole, for that I could do out of my van, probably.<br /><br />With Love,<br />Tara
