An image of the wedge salad dip and taco dip and written across them in red, white, and blue letters are the words "Fourth of July Recipes For People Who Can't Cook."

Do you only get asked to bring the plates and cups to BBQ’s and Potluck Parties?

Have you never been asked to make a dish a second time after bringing it to a party?

Is the best compliment partygoers can offer your food that it was an “interesting choice?”

If the answer to both of those questions is yes, I am here to tell you…. you may be a terrible cook!

The good news is, that can be changed without even having to take cooking lessons!

I am here to share with you some recipes that even the worst cooks can make. These are a big deal for the biggest party of the summer, at least if you live in the United States.

The Big BBQ, the time for you to shine: The Fourth of July!

I gathered 5 of my favorite Pot Luck Recipes that even a Paper Plate Purchaser can make. The first one is my newest recipe:

Beefy Baked Beans

Beefy Baked Beans

These Beefy Baked Beans are the perfect 4th of July side and they’re so easy to make!

All you have to do is brown some ground beef and add some seasonings. If you can turn a knob and shake some spices, you can make this dish!

Simple Right?!

The next recipe is one that I get asked to make over and over again:

The Best Taco Dip

A big bowl of taco dip with shredded cheese and chopped tomatoes.

The only requirements for this Taco Dip is opening stuff, stirring, and spreading.

Oh, and choosing snacks to dip in it, but there will probably be no shortage of those at whatever party you’re attending.

You can hack up the tomatoes for the top, use a jar of salsa in their place, or omit them all together.

I semi sort of made up the next recipe after thinking about how much I enjoyed a wedge salad at a restaurant the night before.

I did some Google searches and found some recipes kind of like what I wanted to make but not quite so I put my own spin on it.

Wedge Salad Dip

Wedge salad dip with tomatoes, bacon, and bleu cheese.

This Wedge Salad Dip is as easy as it is cheesy.

And it’s quite cheesy! Bleu cheesy, to be specific.

And now, what could be more American than the classic heated canine?

Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs

These Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs are easy to make on the grill but FEEL like you put in some extra work. You can also stick some cheese in their if you really want to take things over the top!

The last recipe I will share requires only three ingredients, but it will wow your friends and family.

Stuffed Celery

Stuffed Celery

This Stuffed Celery this looks eye-catching, is pretty healthy, and it literally will cost you $8 or less to make.

Remember that the holiday is next week so this is the weekend to shop for your ingredients and be prepared!

If you make any of these special recipes you will never be asked to bring paper plates again!

Happy Cooking!
