Veggie Bars

2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
1 (1 ounce) envelope ranch style salad dressing mix
1 medium green pepper, chopped
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup coarsely chopped broccoli florets
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh mushrooms

Unroll crescent roll dough. Place in a lightly greased 15 x 10 x 1 inch jellyroll pan, pressing edges and perforations together to line bottom of pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 7 to 8 minutes or until browned. Cool.

Combine cream cheese, mayonnaise and salad dressing mix; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer 1 minute or until smooth. Spread over crust in pan.

Combine peppers and remaining ingredients; sprinkle over cream cheese mixture. Cover and chill 8 hours.

Cut into 1 1/4-inch squares.

Yield: 8 dozen.

We add garlic, and sometimes hot peppers as well.. this is a great start to adding whatever you want as toppings.

Pizza!
Just make a couple three pizzas, cool and slice.

Best make another one for when you're cooking them, so the smell doesn't drive you crackers.

Cold pizza always goes quickly at buffets.

Too late I am sure, but.....

It can't be hot, because there is no microwave and or oven? If so, next time anything in a crockpot may work. All you need is a plug, and in fact, as long as it has stayed on until serving time, it does not even need to be plugged in on the buffet line.

Yeah I walked in the grocery store, saw the ready made potato salad, went with that. My budget was under $10, so that worked well.
Yeah, we have shitty low-watt microwaves and no oven. Have a crockpot, felt like that would be too much hassle, plus I'd be worried about ppl messing with it.
