I'm Going to a Potluck, and I'm Bringing...

[Marshmellow]

If you're from the United States--I don't know about other countries--you've probably been to a potluck at some point during your life. Have you ever found yourself pondering what to bring? It's an important decision. Being a college student, I love potlucks. However, potlucks are no fun when everyone brings chips and brownies.

The purpose of this thread is to share ideas on what you would bring to a potluck; feel free to share brownie recipes, but let's try to have a little variety. Let's spice up our potlucks.

I'm going to a potluck, and I'm bringing....

Taco Dip!

This delicious dish has been a hit at every potluck I've been to, plus it's quick, easy, and fairly cheap to make.

You can buy it in the store, but it's much better home-made. You'll read several taco dip recipes online, but my family's is a little different. And in my opinion, it's better.

Recipe

(1) package of sour cream
(1) package of cream cheese
(1) package of taco seasoning
Lettuce
Salsa
Shredded cheese
Nacho chips

• Mix the sour cream and cream cheese together until smooth. Use a mixer for quick results.
• Mix the taco seasoning in.
• Spread the mix on a serving pan
• Sprinkle the salsa, shredded cheese, lettuce and any other toppings (diced tomatoes, onions, ect) on top.
• Chill in the refrigerator for a couple hours.
• Serve with nacho chips at your potluck and watch it be devoured!

It's so easy that even I can make it.

Share your potluck ideas! :-)

Basically, it's a dinner where people get together and bring all kinds of different food. It's fun cause you can get to try new things.

[Boobies]

Oh right, I'd take something like cheese, nice cheese.

I've never really been to potlucks, but I'd love to take things like bakes, like pasta bake or something. I love to cook stuff like that so.. (:

I always bring dessert to potluck. I figured out that of all the potlucks that I been too, nobody brings dessert. So usually I bring cupcakes, or cake which I of course made from scratch. I'm not really the picnic/potluck person anyways though. :P

[The Morrigan]

I've never been to one of these but they sound really fun

I'd probably take a crumble or something, it's about the only decent thing I can make

[TakeTheLeap]

Haha. Every summer, my summer league swim team would have a team award pot luck dinner. Everyone brings fried chicken, pizza, or macaroni and cheese.
My family always brings shepherd's pie - basically a beef stew topped with mashed potatoes and cheese, and it's always a hit. It's simple, can be made in large amounts, and it's good for you.
I always make a dessert of some kind. My favorite is a cherry chocolate cheesecake. Basically, a regular cheesecake topped with a layer of canned cherries, topped with a layer of chocolate mousse. It's SO good.

I don't think I've been to one but if I get the concept correctly I would bring some nachos with guacamole you can never go wrong with that and some margaritas to drink.

I've been to a lot of potlucks but I've never brought anything. If I did, I would take mac and cheese.

- Fruit
