Pot Luck Recipes
King Ranch Chicken Casserole
This is the MOTHER of all recipes ever posted on Simple Daily Recipes.
Anyone who’s been around here long enough, knows I don’t cook meals that call for too many steps. In fact, I’m pretty sure the only other extensive recipe I’ve ever posted was Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas.
Even though this recipe has a lot of [...]
Fresh Beef Chili
With all these cold, blustery days, a hardy pot of chili sounded good to eat over the weekend. My friend, Anne, brought over fresh, ground beef that was grown right here in Sulphur Springs, Texas. Thanks Anne, now we know the difference between locally grown and store bought beef.
That beautiful, moist cornbread muffin in [...]
Butternut Squash Chili
Being completely honest here, I wasn't too sure about making this recipe. I've been trying new flavors on my family and it's been hit and miss. Naturally, I spare you of my misses and only post recipes that go over well. If my family tells me they wouldn't ask for it, it doesn't make it [...]

Frozen Cranberry Dessert
The first time we tried this dessert was at a pot luck holiday party. The best thing about pot lucks is there's always something new to try. For the adventurous types, this is a lot of fun. For picky eaters, it's spells an evening of loading up on chips. For those with highly trained taste [...]
Pumpkin Cookies
Every Thanksgiving holiday, it's my responsibility to bake the pumpkin pie and sweet potatoes. I have never dared to alter these traditional dishes. Certain flavors run too deep in our memories, to change them would only upset the harmony. Not to mention, my family would totally rag on me for 'fixin' [...]
Mexican Stack Salad
I devoured a Mexican Stack salad for lunch today. It has an odd combination of ingredients, but MAN, IT IS GOOD! The Mexican Stack Salad is perfect for pot luck gatherings. If you have enough guests attending, each person picks one or two ingredients to bring to the meal.
HERE'S ALL YOU NEED FOR THIS [...]
Beans n’ Cornbread
“Beans, beans, the musical fruit!“
Tuesday night, we had friends over to the house. You remember from the Simple Cocoa Brownies recipe? For dinner, we ate baked ham, mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes. I heard that! Yes, I know I served two starches. Half the crowd consisted of children that I [...]
Simple Cocoa Brownies
.
I served these wonderful Cocoa Brownies last night after dinner to my family and friends. You should have seen the light saber duel that took place in my kitchen over the last brownie! My husband lost to an 8 year old Jedi Knight who was a master in the ways of the force.
I [...]
Harvest Apple Crisp
Let me tell you from personal experience,
THIS APPLE CRISP IS AWESOME!!!
This recipe is so quick to throw together with no fuss. You could make it a day ahead, but you would have to hide it from your family.
Do not leave this dessert unsupervised before serving, the crunchy topping will start to disappear. If [...]
Camp Burritos, the Original Recipe
Camp Burritos were created on a family camping trip, some 8 years ago. The burritos are hardy, filling and AWESOME any day of week!
Camp Burritos are the first meal I serve all my new friends, with and without kids. It's a winner with everyone no matter what their food preferences happen to be. The [...]

Spinach Salad that Stands Out at Parties
The first time I read this recipe, I wasn't so sure about it. I knew if I served it up to a group of women, it would go over just fine. However, this would be to my couples Sunday night life group. This was a group that had burly men and picky eaters all mixed [...]

Quick Italian Cream Cake
Growing up, my Memaw made German chocolate cake for my birthday. It has ALWAYS been what I love to eat for my birthday. Until the day came when I had given birth to my first child, my Aunt Deb came to stay with us to help out. She made an Italian Cream Cake. Move over [...]
