architectThese are always well-received, and dead easy to make:
Bacon-wrapped water chestnuts
Ingredients:
2 lb. bacon (3 lb. if using thick-sliced)
16 oz. whole water chestnuts, these usually come in 8 oz. cans
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard (e.g Coleman)
2 tsps. Worchestershire sauce
1 tsp. soy sauce
1 box round wooden bar toothpicks
Procedure:
Cut water chestnuts in half
Cut bacon strips in thirds
Wrap each chestnut half in a bacon third, secure with wooden toothpick, place on cookie sheet(s) in single layer
Bake at 375℉ for 40 minutes or until bacon is done to your taste
Combine remaining ingredients in saucepan over low heat.
Brush cooked chestnut/bacon with mixture immediately before serving.
Notes:
First three steps can be done in advance and refrigerated until snacking time.
Makes about 5 dozen on two cookie sheets, there will be no leftovers.

ibandaI frequently take an appetizer,
Mushrooms stuffed with hot breakfast sausage, onion, garlic, cream cheese and topped with a lil "stinky" cheese. Baked at 350° for 25 minutes. Easy to make and there are never any leftovers. Don't tell they guys I got the recipe from Pioneer Woman....

1967GoatCrock pot chili.
But you'll also have to bring paper bowls and plastic-ware.
Extra points if you bring shredded cheese, diced jalapenos or sour cream to plop on top.

several recipes for wings for a large group. I can vouch for the first one, Buffalo. The steaming and then oven roasting turns out very good.

TigerDoreA can of Cheez Whiz and a box of crackers.
Unfortunately, the only box it may check-off is "easy to prepare", but some people will like it.
If you want to dress it up, spread a bunch of the crackers out on a platter and squirt a little Cheez Whiz on each one. Extra points if you can make a design with the CW.
(Yes, this was tongue-in-cheek.)
