This sounds like it was meant to be appetizers -- last place I worked the
big thing for potlucks was meatballs in a sauce made of 1 bottle of ketchup
and 1 jar of grape jelly... Sometimes they'd use coctail sauce in place of
the ketchup.

How about onions and mushrooms browned in butter, worchestershire sauce and
sour cream, maybe thinned with some red wine or beef broth if necessary?
