Favorite Potluck Recipe Ideas
Have you been invited to a potluck dinner? Looking for an interesting recipe to take? The keys to choosing a winning potluck recipe are selecting a dish that transports well, will still taste great after sitting on a buffet table for a while, and is something that has widespread appeal. It's a good idea to avoid choosing recipes that require ingredients that tend to be an acquired taste or that are made with ingredients that many people are allergic to.

Comments
Thanks for the recipes, they will come in handy.
I'd love to know the onion pie recipe. I've never heard of it! And the Chicken and New Potatoes Casserole sounds good? Do you have a hub where these are posted? As a homeschool mom, casseroles and crockpot meals are best and easiest for me, especially if I can freeze the casseroles, pull them out in the morning and pop them in the oven in the afternoon.
I tried the "Cook for a day and eat for a Month" stuff, but it wasn't things my family would eat for the most part.
I'm sorry, MG. I didn't realize I could click on the recipe title to get the recipe. These sound great! Thanks for the hub! Headed over to your hub about winter recipes. Soups are some of my family's favorites!
Some great ideas for those potluck church and school meetings/ dinners that we're always goiing to. It's easy to fall into bringing the same thing every time.
