🧀 Your Next Potluck Needs These

Published 1 day ago • 2 min read


Hi Reader!

​

I’ve been adding a lot of easy side dishes to the site lately, and these two are so good for this time of year. Both are simple enough for a regular dinner, but they’d also fit right in on a holiday or potluck table.

​Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes are made with diced hash browns, French onion dip, cheddar cheese soup, and tons of shredded cheese. Everything goes straight into the slow cooker, so this is a really easy one for holidays, potlucks, or any time you need to keep the oven free.

These Cowboy Baked Beans take regular baked beans up about ten notches. They’re loaded with ground beef, bacon, black beans, green chiles, and a sweet and smoky sauce. Great for cookouts, game day, or feeding a crowd.

💡 A Quick Side-Dish Tip

For big meals, I try to make at least one side that doesn’t need oven space. Slow cooker recipes are great for that since you can get them going early and keep them warm until everyone is ready to eat.
