We’re finally here – it’s potluck season! No one throws a potluck like a church community. Everyone pulls out the potluck recipes handed down from grandma and gets busy making big pan recipes with big tastes! FaveSouthernRecipes.com wants to let you in on a little secret. Those same potluck recipes that are beloved by the community (“Are you bringing your famous potatoes again, Frank?”) are also extremely awesome for everyday use!
What makes these potluck recipes great for quick dinner ideas and more? Well, they’re meant to be made in large batches – which means if you make a lot, you can freeze the rest! Also, they’re meant to be cheap, because who has the money to feed a village? (Not me.) With ingredients like beans and potatoes, these recipes come with manageable prices. You get a lot of bang for your buck, especially when you consider just how many meals you’ll get out of these recipes.
Whether you’re going to an actual potluck or just stocking up on frozen meals, we have a great collection of cheap churchy recipes at FaveSouthernRecipes.com. Happy saving!

We usually make a casserole with whatever goes together from the cupboard. We use rice, wild rice or pasta as the base.
How about trying my very easy “Stuffing Casserole?” I prefer to cook from scratch but you can make substitutions if that’s not your preference.
Make a light cheese sauce, and layer with sauteed mushrooms, carrot coins, chopped squash, and a little onion. Then add a layer of old bread cubes mixed with sauteed celery, garlic, onion, poultry seasoning, pepper. Do not add fat or chicken broth. Repeat layers. Top with a little crushed up stuffing.
