A Potluck Party Brought To You By Your Crockpot!

If you’re looking to impress everyone at the next party, combine themes by making it a potluck, in which everyone has to bring a dish they’ve made with their crockpot. That way, you know that the chances of the party having delicious, homemade recipes are all but nailed down. If some of the guests aren’t too familiar with crockpot cooking, give them a break and send them a few of these recipes to get started.

Crockpot cooking is fun, easy and comforting; adjectives that also describe a potluck. Get your creative juices flowing, and watch as your guests do the same!

Presentation Pointers:

Make things a little competitive by telling your guests that there will be a vote on the best tasting dish. You’re sure to get some real effort from everyone, and things will get a little more interesting. Give the winner a small prize like an oven timer.
Ask guests to RSVP a week ahead of time so you have a head count when you go to the grocery store to pick up plastic ware, plates, bowls and cups.
If your guests ask you if you need any help, say yes! Throwing a potluck, and especially one that has a theme, can be hard work. If a few of your guests (preferably the ones you know best) can help you clean up, things will be a lot easier at the end of the night.
