Bringing a Kid-Friendly Main Course To the Boy Scout Potluck Dinner

In summary, some easy and suitable main course options for a kid-friendly potluck dinner include spaghetti and meatballs, chicken tenders, mac and cheese, mini sliders, or pizza. To accommodate children with dietary restrictions, you can offer vegetarian or gluten-free options. It is also possible to prepare the main course in advance and reheat it at the potluck dinner. To make the main course more appealing for kids, you can use colorful ingredients, fun shapes, and involve them in the cooking process. Additionally, there are healthy main course options that are still appealing to kids, such as turkey or veggie burgers, grilled chicken skewers, or a vegetable stir-fry.

My son's boy scout troop is having a pot luck dinner next week and I need some suggestions on what to bring. I need to provide a main course type dish that will feed multiple people and that the kids will like. Any ideas?
 
The Lemon Chicken Pasta Toss is Yummy If people dont take tons it will serve more and my 4 yr old son who hates broccli and carrots loves this dish.
 
Mandarin Pasta Salad, of course...sorry I can't seem to find any place that this dish does not fit. Kids love it (mine do at least and they are picky eaters) and it is a big salad and will feed many.
 
If you need a main dish, I would say the inside out lasagna!! It's awesome!! All kids like pasta and cheese!!!
 
Cajun Cornbread Chili SkilletMy favorite to take to a pot luck is the Cajun Cornbread Chili Skillet from All the Best. It's super easy to make. I bake it so it's ready just before we leave, the put the lid on it, and take it to the pot luck with the large square platter. When I feel like I have a large enough audience, I tell them that they have got to see this, then flip it out.

It's always a big WOW factor, most everybody loves the dish (kids included), and I've gotten some sales and a booking from doing it.

I've attached the recipe as I make it...I've modified it a little bit.
