Best Crowd Pleasing Potluck Dishes
1. Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe
Bring this buffalo chicken dip to the party if you want to be the dish at the potluck that is guaranteed to be a hit. Bring along crackers, carrots, celery, and tortilla chips to serve alongside the dip. Just make sure you get a scoop as soon as you put it out, as this dish will go fast!
2. Baked Spaghetti
When bringing a dish to a potluck, you want to make sure it is a dish that travels well and won’t get all mushy in transit. This baked spaghetti is the perfect dish just for that. The baked casserole dish can easily be made in a 13×9 baking pan and even served at room temperature.
3. Cocktail Meatballs
Sometimes, it is best to stick to the simple and classic dishes when it comes to a potluck dinner — case in point: these tasty cocktail meatballs. The bite-size meatballs only require three ingredients to make and have the perfect spicy-sweet flavor that will have everyone coming back for seconds and thirds.
4. Taco Pinwheels
There’s a whole lot of ingredients that go into making tacos. Take out of the work of lugging half of your pantry items to the potluck and bring these taco pinwheels instead. The pinwheels are stuffed with seasoned ground beef and cheese and rolled up inside a fluffy crescent dough to make a tasty handheld bite.
5. Southern Baked Mac and Cheese
I love bringing this southern baked mac and cheese to a potluck dinner. Adding the crispy panko topping to the mac and cheese slightly elevates the classic dish. It’s creamy, comforting, and always a crowd favorite.
6. Crack Chicken Casserole Recipe
Good luck only having one serving of this crack chicken casserole. This casserole is super addicting in the best way possible, of course. The casserole loads up with shredded chicken, cheese, ranch seasoning, bacon, and pasta. If you’d prefer to bring this dish as an appetizer, it is very simple to turn into a mouthwatering dip.
7. Chocolate Dump Cake
A potluck wouldn’t be complete without something sweet. When I get put on dessert duty for the potluck, this chocolate dump cake is always my go-to. It couldn’t be easier to make, as everything is literally dumped into the baking pan. It’s that easy to make.
