That tracks, I’ve become the designation guac person 😅
What the hell happened to her face?
My family’s would probably be “Damn Good Dip,” which is very easy to make: take a container of sour cream and mix a packet of onion soup-mix into it. Serve with potato chips.
For standard dinner faire, my parents make Consomme Rice, which is just white rice cooked using beef consomme instead of water.
My recipe would be Fried Deviled Eggs, which is just deviled eggs but before you put the yolk back in, you batter the whites with panko and throw them in the air fryer until they get crispy and crunchy. It’s an extra step in an already less than easy to prepare food, but I’ve gotten lots of people asking if I’m going to make them when I go to parties.
I’m also known for my Steakhouse-style Garlic Mashed Potatoes, which, like with the rice, the trick is to boil the garlic and potatoes both in chicken stock instead of water, and then mash the garlic cloves right into the potatoes along with butter and cream cheese. It makes them super flavorful.
Pube chili. Although my neighbours know it as chili.
This is why I don’t potluck. I’ll eat alone thanks.
Oxtail stew with rice and peas
I do the stove top oxtail version
I also didn’t have brown sugar last time so I subbed in cassareep and damn that worked
What is it with all the dips in USA cuisine? And what are you dipping that need such heavy dipping sauces?
It is a potluck, not just a regular meal. It’s a large get together and you might expect more like a “grazing” behavior than a meal. Everyone brings something and you try a little of as much as you want
Usually chips. But also other foods. Pizza, bread sticks, french fries. Now that I think about it, it’s usually a carb.
dafuq you people doing naming what you make and NOT POSTING YOUR RECIPES?!?!?
I make some bomb ass corn bread.
preheat oven to 420 degrees F.
1 cup flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup veggie oil
2 bigass eggs
1 tbsp baking powder
mix that shit good until it’s a slightly runny batter.
add extras and mix some more.
Extras may include any or all of the following: diced onion, diced bellpepper, sausage crumbles, diced jalapenos, whatever the fuck you want in your cornbread it will probably be delicious.
Coat pan in oil. Pour batter into pan. I use a regular loaf pan.
Bake in oven until it passes the toothpick test.
Without extras, should pass toothpick test inside of 30 minutes. With extras, time will be longer and you’ll have to play with it.
insert sob story about how I love my mamma here to round out the recipe.
How is the crust? I make mine with ~50% courser cornmeal in preheated cast iron because its supposed to hurt your mouth as you eat it.
it gets a nice thick crust, not as cronchy as you’re describing though.
I don’t have a recipe for “bag of chips” lol
not gonna lie, I’ve done that one a few times myself.
For you, this is exactly where I got “my” recipe for mozzarella stuffed meatballs. I normally do all beef for diet reasons, but yeah.

The unsung hero of potluck.
“You shouldn’t have,” says the host who no longer has to do dishes. “It’s so wasteful,” says the guest who no longer has to help with dishes.
Spicy red lentil dip. I just make a dal with less water lol.
Bacon brussels sprouts. Cut one pack of bacon into lardons, cook bacon, remove the bacon, pour out just a little bacon grease but leave some in the pan, add trimmed and halved/quartered brussels sprouts with some salt, pepper, maybe a little garlic powder, cook until al dente-ish, add the bacon back, mix, serve or transfer to crockpot.
Edit: Finish with a little squirt of lemon juice and grated parm.
Add some balsamic glaze on top when you serve it, maybe a little fresh parm. Amazing.
I completely forgot the crucial finishing steps of lemon juice and parm. My family would be devastated. Fixed!
People love my rice and beans
I play airsoft, and after a few guys tried my brisket, that’s how I got my call sign.
Buuut, I will, in no way, routinely bring that to a potluck. Too much time and money!
For me? Chicken, smoked with Hickory for three hours, nice and low, with my own dry-rub that’s a little sweet, little smokey, and a little spicy, with a hint of maple coming through.
Man I should get back in to airsoft. But the enterance prices ward me off.
Quiche. I challenge you to find a vegetarian dish with a higher taste/effort ratio.
I’m passionate about good quiche. What’s your go to filling?
I do a guac because it’s easy and I’m not great at cooking. Fortunately guac hasn’t hit the zeitgeist in Japan so people are impressed by it.
I’ve got tuna noodle casserole with it’s multitude of variations
