I need to prepare a meal to bring to my family who is moving tonight. For 10ish people.
I usually bring people enchiladas, lasagna, chicken ceasar salad, or some kind of hearty soup (like chicken tortilla).
But it's hot, and I feel like those foods don't sound good on a balmy evening.
What would you make?
P.S. it has to be completely ready once delivered, because their kitchen is totally out of commission. So, nothing that needs to be warmed up or prepped at their house.

This Chicken Parmesan Bake is my go-to meal for others !! In fact, I almost made it for dinner for us tonight. YUM! http://www.hellobee.com/2014/05/22/chicken-parmesan-bake/
edit: when i take it for others i like to take it with some garlic bread, salad, and if I'm feeling super generous, (and don't want to eat them myself) brownies.

Can you grill up some hot dogs and bring them with all the add-ons? You can bring a nice pasta or potato salad on the side of it.

Usually pasta, like lasagna or baked ziti. What about bringing cooked meat and fixings for tacos?

@Dandelion: I'd probably do something like this! Potato or pasta salads are always a hit at our house/family houses.

I like making pulled pork sandwiches. I just transport it in the crockpot, and bring buns with me. I also like making cole slaw or pasta salad to go with it. Pioneer Woman's Spicy Dr. Pepper Shredded Pork is my favorite recipe, and I usually make it in the crockpot. It takes a while to cook though so it might not be the best idea if you are short on time.

Maybe a cold pasta salad with some kind of protein in it?
@Tanjowen: I like your pizza idea! I love pizza when we're moving.

@Rainbow Sprinkles: it's been such a long stretch of hot weather and with no a/c it's been pretty brutal! And I'm tired of grilling everyday for dinner so last night we had a group of guys helping with some yard work and I made them BLTs on Torta sandwich rolls from costco and they freakin loved them bc it was a change from all the burgers, brats, and grilled chicken they've been having.
I toasted the bread in my toaster oven, cut thick slices of ripe tomatoes, washed and prepped some romaine lettuce, then I cheated and did several plates of microwave bacon (3-4 slices per sandwich). Then when it was time to eat I spread mayo on the bread and assembled and it was easy peasy and they loved it. I made everything during LO's nap and assembled several hours later and everything was perfect. I also steamed some corn on the cob and set that out. You could also do a simple Caesar salad to go with the sandwiches. Or if you have time gazpacho would be so good on a hot evening. Another option would be caprese sandwiches spread

@Rainbow Sprinkles: this cold Thai noodle salad is also delicious! I add shredded chicken to it (just grab a rotisserie chicken)

I like to do lasagna, but pulled pork or sloppy joes in the crockpot are great too.
