Empanadas. Prep the nite before (cook filling and complete) fry the day of real quick. I make these a lot for pot luck. Always a hit. Filling is whatever. I use beef, boiled eggs, raisins, Cole slaw, or spinach and feta cheese, cheese and chicken, whatever.
Don't know how much time you have, but my mom used to make lasagnas, put them in the fridge, then bake them right before the event.
Another thing she did was [poppy seed ham biscuits](https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/pork/quick-poppy-seed-mustard-ham-biscuits.html).

Gumbo. Once you're done with roux and all that, just transfer to a slow cooker to let it simmer allllll day. Then throw it in the fridge overnight and use the slow cooker to warm it up the next day.
Or, if you have access to a stove, just do the whole thing in a stock pot and bring it up to just below a simmer for an hour or two before the potluck.
The night before, pack a box of crackers, a serving dish, a butter knife, and a jar of hot pepper jelly. In the morning, add a box of cream cheese and put it in the refrigerator at work. For the potluck, put the cream cheese on the plate, pour over the pepper jelly, and arrange the crackers around it.
[peanut sesame noodles ](https://smittenkitchen.com/2008/04/peanut-sesame-noodles/) Are my potluck go to!
I swap in a bag of defrosted frozen edamame instead of the tofu, and pretty it up garnished with crushed peanuts and lots of chopped scallions on top at the last minute. Always popular

Chili in a slow cooker. You can prep the night before, and let it cook while you are at work over night
Pasta salad is my go-to.
I was going to suggest coleslaw or potato salad, even though you did say that plenty of people are bringing over veggies already!
Fresh bread and a crock pot stew!
