What’s your go-to meal to cook when you’re hosting people for dinner?

Question

Or just any suggestions for things to cook for guests... things that are nice, but not too complicated, and generally well-liked?

Answer

Tacos- most definitely cooks the meat in the crockpot and prep the sides and container them til it’s time to eat, and put tortillas in the oven to give them a crisp right before dinner starts. 
Shepherds Pie- (hamburger with manwhich sauce mixed) mashed potatoes, green beans. Then I grab some hamburger buns -for the kids who don’t like food mixed and just give it to them as a sloppy joe with mashed potatoes and green beans as a side. 
Pulled Pork sandwiches- do this in the crockpot I start it before bed and it’s ready by lunch: dr. Pepper, pork roast, barbecue sauces. An as sides I do a orange jello salad with mandarins oranges set in it and mini marshmallows on top. Along with a cold pasta salad or cold slaw. 
Thoses are my top 3 go-to’s’

Answer

It depends on who. Family I go more fancy but friends it's usually tacos. I love making my potato tacos. I cook the potatoes and smash them, I add cooked ground beef .. i then put the mixture in a corn tortilla and fry them (use a toothpick to hold them together) , then have a plethora of toppings to add. They are soooo good!

Answer

Gotta think of something you can prepare beforehand and that’s plenty a few things come to mind... tacos... lasagna.... meatloaf... pasta dish. If you have some easy apps for beforehand that ppl can snack on first usually helps also -crackers, cheese, salami, olives, carrots, broccoli and a dip or salsa - have fun with it whatever floats your boat even a hearty soup!

Answer

Summer- grill
Winter- roast

Answer

Depends how many people and how much time 
Pulled pork, homemade burgers, lasagna, slow cooker roast, Mac & cheese

Answer

Some type of casserole if it’s casual. If it’s a more formal occasion I’ll do a roast beef or a roast chicken. something easy that I can put in the oven and forget about for a while. I usually pre make mashed potatoes (or buy pre made) and heat them in the oven too. Ill make a veggie like green beans or broccoli that takes 10 minute to steam with little supervision.

Answer

Chicken and rice. But has to be my moms recipe, I don’t like any other chicken and rice

Answer

Usually lasagna or baked ziti if winter. Fall soups, stews, chili or something in crockpot. Grilling chicken, steaks, burgers, hotdogs with potato/macaroni salad corn on cob over summer and spring.
