Ham and bean soup.

That sounds delicious. Somehow I am the only one in the house who likes bean and ham soup, so we always end up having split pea and ham instead. Which is also good, just not the same.

Last night I had a couple grilled ground beef patties with melted cheddar, fried onions, spicy pickles, and homemade thousand island dressing. Tonight we are having chili.
 
Lasagna sounds good.
I have made lasagna from scratch many times in my life, but haven't had it in years. I would make a large pan and then freeze the leftovers in serving sizes to take to work. I did find that places like Costco have a frozen version of it that was excellent IMHO. It was a great thing to take to pot lucks when there was a crowd. Inner city schools have a pot luck and many families come empty handed. More than once I took my food donation, got in line and there would maybe be corn chips and bread left when I got to the food. I learned not to count on eating there. Of course you never know what your food had been through anyway.

When neighborhood women came around selling burritos out of coolers, someone warned me to not buy them for that reason. I had several times previously and I found them to be delicious, but plant that idea in my head and I was done.

I do the same. Not on purpose, its just the way I cook. We almost always have leftovers.
 
I make a pasta sauce with tomato sauce, chopped tomatoes, Italian seasoning. Cook ground beef. Mix up cottage cheese, fresh shredded mozzarella or jack and fresh parmesan. Layer all of that with cooked lasagna noodles. Then bake it. We usually have leftovers, but only had a little. I had to use the 9 by 11 pyrex instead of the bigger one, since that's the largest size that will fit in the outdoor camp oven.
Potlucks can be a pain. I always bring a large main dish, and a side dish. We have Boy Scout potlucks Court of Honor dinners every three months. Most of the food comes from the grocery store...premade mac salad, potato salad, fried chicken. But they let parents and guests get their food first. When the boys get in line, everything gets cleaned out.
 
What are your 'fries'made of?

@Amish Heart was right, zucchini rolled in grated parmesan cheese and almond flour. Although sometimes we will also use sweet potatoes, which are of course not actually potatoes.
