I just do a simple bourbon sauce to serve over the bread pudding. Butter, powdered sugar, egg yolks, bourbon. Cream the butter and sugar, remove from heat and blend in the egg yolk. Stir in the bourbon.
Good dish for a potluck

So did this potluck happen? What did OP decide on?
You ever notice on these "request advice" threads, that there is hardly ever a follow up post to actually tell what the op eventually did?
I want closure damnit!
Spiral hams are good for mains. All you have to do is stick it in the oven and put on the glaze when its done.
Potluck was last night...
App: Honey sriracha chicken bites
Main: Chicken enchiladas with homemade enchilada sauce
Thanks for all the suggestions folks, may make some of them just for fun in the coming weeks.
So, despite soliciting (and receiving) suggestions and advice, you already knew what you were going to bring.
(wondering if the OP is my wife posting incognito)
I'm sure it included goat, which is very authentic in Mexico
Most the suggestions weren't in my limited wheelhouse of capabilities or not stuff my friends would have liked. Perhaps I should have outlined my lack of skills in the OP.
Cheesy potatoes and meatballs requires mixing stuff up and putting it in the slow cooker.
Are you saying your friends don't like cheesy potatoes?
Or bourbon? Sounds like you need new friends..
Okay, late for the show, but I’d like to recommend beans and greens. Super easy to make, really delicious, and can hold warm in a crock pot or something similar basically forever.
Sauté some garlic and diced onions in olive oil in a sauce pan over medium heat, add a bunch of fresh leafy spinach and a bit more oil, work it until the spinach is completely wilted, add a few cans of drained cannellini beans, stir around with some salt, maybe a little pepper, stir some more, add some chicken stock (enough to just about cover what is in the saucepan), raise the heat and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let everything simmer, uncovered. I prefer to let it bubble away for many hours, so that the stock reduces. The beans will break down a bit and the starch from them, along with the reduced amount of liquid, will lead to a thicker dish (it will look like soup when you start, but it will thicken up nicely, almost stew-like).
I only use leafy spinach for this. I like escarole and broccoli rabe for some things, but I find them both way too bitter for this dish.
A little grated parm or romano, maybe some crushed red pepper, and a loaf of Italian bread and you’re all set.
I cook a lot, including many stupidly complicated things, and this is one of my favorites; it is incredibly easy and SO delicious.
