The Dish Everybody Asks You To Bring

A potluck dish has a job to do. It has to survive the car ride, sit out an hour, and still get scraped clean before the tables are cleared.

Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when the sign-up sheet comes around at church, at work, or at a family reunion, and they need something that feeds a crowd without a fuss.

Every recipe here is built for a big pan or a big bowl: Caesar Pasta Salad, Buffalo Chicken Dip, Deviled Eggs and Cajun Shrimp Deviled Eggs, Layered Cheesy Potatoes, Baked Beans with Hamburger Meat, and Seven Layer Dip.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Dress pasta salad late

    Toss Caesar or Southwest Chipotle Pasta Salad with dressing about 30 minutes before serving so the noodles stay coated instead of soaking it all up.

  2. 2

    Bake dips in a disposable pan

    Buffalo Chicken Dip holds heat well in a foil pan; bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes and wrap it in a towel for the drive.

  3. 3

    Steam eggs for peeling

    Steam eggs 12 to 13 minutes, then dunk them in ice water for 5 minutes so the shells slip off clean for deviled eggs.

  4. 4

    Cover potatoes then uncover

    Bake cheesy potato casserole covered for 45 minutes, then uncover for the last 15 so the top browns without drying out.
