Crockpot dinner party

For our school silent auction the big push is hosting an event. So I am hosting a crockpot dinner and prep night. The idea is that some adults will join me for an evening. I will provide dinner (from the crock pots) and supplies we will do prep so they also go home with bagged meals that can be frozen, when needed pull out, put into a crock pot and have a meal or such. That is the big concept. Menu ideas :

Appetizers

Soup
Chocolate fountain (caramel or marshmallow creme in the crockpot to go with.)
Crockpot Carmel 

To keep it simple and easy, the prep meals to go will be the corn chowder and Fejoida. I will also probably send them home with a jar of caramelized onions. I will include all recipes. I am trying to come up with a non meat option along the lines of Fejoida. We will also have bread and salad with the meal. 
Any help or suggestions would be great, I'm a little worried about being overwhelmed.

  1. Just to clarify, you provide all the ingredients and they just bring the crock pots? What about my Veggie Chili or Katie's Butternut Squash Rissotto or a Soup?

  2. No they will bring home a package meal for later use in their own crock pots.But yes I'll provide the ingredients. Good ideas, I love both your veggie chili and the RIssotto.
    Thanks

  3. What did you end up doing? How did it work out? What would you do differently in the future?

  4. it is Friday night. I'm planning your onions. Mom's clam chowder and your corn chowder. Main dish a barbecue chicken in honor of our nice weather. And the chocolate fountain.

  5. Really liked your crockpot party idea. Had a similar one for my friend’s party at one of Los Angeles venues. It was truly fantastic as food there was very delicious and had a great time there. Was impressed with all arrangements done there.
