Ten Graduation Party Recipes to Feed a Crowd

Everyone loves deviled eggs. Even better: They are surprisingly easy to make. You can prepare the hard-boiled eggs up to two days in advance. And you can make the filling hours ahead of time.

You'll never believe how simple this recipe is and how tasty these meatballs are. This recipe can easily be made in the Crockpot. Just toss everything in, set it on low, and when you're ready, serve your guests right from the slow cooker.

I make this Mexican chicken salad for potlucks all the time. It's easy to double or triple, it looks great on a buffet table, and everyone loves it. You can prepare the salad a day in advance, but wait until the last minute to toss the dressing in.

Baked ziti is super easy to make, and everyone loves it. Even better: You can make this baked ziti a day in advance.

Fire up the grill! Everyone will want to grab one of those fantastic bacon cheeseburgers. The bacon is mixed right in the burger for extra juiciness.

Walnuts and sweetened dried cranberries give this broccoli salad incredible texture and flavor. This recipe is also easy to double or triple.

This Italian pasta salad is one of my "go to" recipes for potlucks, parties and cookouts. With zucchini, red peppers, black olives, and marinated artichokes, it has wonderful flavors. And it's a real crowd-pleaser.

This Watergate salad recipe is a throwback to the 1970s. But it's withstood the test of time because people go wild over it. Make it a day in advance, and store in the fridge for the best results.

You need at least one "grab and go" dessert at the party. Why not go with a classic? These chocolate chip cookies are soft and chewy. Far better than store-bought, these chocolate chip cookies are a sure-fire hit with any crowd!

These chocolate brownies have three layers and take a bit longer to make than some recipes (you have to refrigerate them for an hour before putting on the glaze), but they are so worth it. Rich, chocolatey and decadent, these brownies are the best!
