This is a really yummy recipe for mashed potatoes! You can make them the day before you eat them or the day of :)
5 pounds potatoes, cooked and mashed (about 12 or 13 regular sized potatoes)
1 8oz pack cream cheese

Combine mashed potatoes with all ingredients and mix together well. Place in a large casserole dish.

Mandarin Orange Jell-O Salad
I know this is a Jell-O salad and all, but it really is SOO good. It is almost so good you could eat it as a dessert. This is perfect for any party because you do the bulk of the preparing the night before.

1 small box of "cook & serve" tapioca pudding
1 small box of orange Jell-o
Bring to boil with 3C of water. Boil for 6 minutes. Cool overnight.
Before serving, fold in 1 large tub of Cool Whip and a couple cans of mandarin oranges (drained).

Dutch Oven Cobbler
2 white cake mixes
2 large cans of fruit filling (peaches, raspberries, cherries, apple etc.)
1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 C oatmeal
1 can of sprite
Slice up 1 cube of butter into squares for the top!
Line dutch oven with aluminum foil! Place the 2 cans of fruit on the bottom (add cans depending on how many are eating). Crumble cake mixes on top of fruit. Crumble brown sugar & oatmeal on top of cakes! (can use more or less sugar and oatmeal depending on how you like it) Top off with pouring the can of sprite over the entire thing, and then cut the butter into squares to top it off!! Place coals on top and cook until done! I don't have specific timing, I would say check it after about 20-30 minutes! this recipe is for a large dutch oven, you can do it in a small one and just cut the ingredients in half!! So yummy served with vanilla ice cream!
Or, if you want you can cook it in the oven 425 degrees for about 30 - 45 minutes.
