If you are bringing this dish to this year's gathering, cover the dish tightly and wrap it in heavy-duty foil, several layers of newspaper or a heavy towel, then place in an insulated carrier. This will ensure that the dish will arrive warm, and ready to eat!! If oven space is at a premium, cook your dish in a slow cooker. Wrap the slow cooker in a heavy towel or several layers of newspaper before transporting it, then plug it back in as soon as you arrive.
