My niece has done a baked potato bar for her husband's kids and kids --
baked potatoes with various toppings available, from butter and sour
cream to beef stroganoff to chili con carne to creamed whatever. Spuds
will take a while to bake (longer at a low temp) if they're in the oven
while you're at church (yeah, I would leave my oven on if I weren't home
for two hours).

Lasagna would bomb at my house -- too much cheese for Himself.
