Cooking Easter dinner?!
Answers: I'm having Easter dinner at my house for the first time EVER! I'm planning on making a ham, mashed potatoes, green bean casorole, dinner rolls, deviled eggs....what are some other dishes I could make? I'm going to be feeding between 9-12, and would like simple things. Thanks
Homemade Mac and Cheese goes great with Ham.
Sounds good. Maybe a friut salad, or a broccoli salad. Any dessert?
Corn casserole
1 box jiffy cornbread mix
1 can cream corn
1 can corn (do not drain water)
1 small container sour cream
Mix jiffy mix, cream corn, corn, and sour cream together in bowl..
Add to dish and bake at 350 for 1 hour
It cost less than 5 bucks to make and its delish!!
Peas with lil smokies
3 cans peas
1 pck lil smokies sausages
1 small onion
Slice smokies into small slices and dice onion.
Fry over medium heat until sausage and onions are browned.
Add peas and simmer for an hour
Oven roasted red potatoes
1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
2 pounds red potatoes, halved
1/3 cup olive oil
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
In a large plastic bag, combine the soup mix, red potatoes and olive oil. Close bag, and shake until potatoes are fully covered.
Pour potatoes into a medium baking dish; bake 40 minutes in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally.
Banana Pudding, Salad, Baked Beans go great with Ham. UMMMM you're making me hungry.
ide do a broccoli cauliflour casserole with a cheese sauce instead of the green bean, its a little to christmasy. maybe another kind of meat too.
a beef roast or something other than the ham.
then maybe a simple pudding pie for dessert?
That actually sounds pretty good. Might bake a cake for desert. I do have a festive idea for you though. I always color my egg whites for my deviled eggs. just dip them in a little water and food color. Mix your colors so I can have purple and orange also but don't leave them in the water for long because you want them to be pastel for Easter. Let your whites dry for a moment on a paper towels. I do this for all the holidays. Red, green and white for Christmas and red white and blue for 4th of July and they are always a big hit. Everybody thinks colored eggs taste better. Hope your dinner is successful.
Ambrosia Salad
3 1/2 ounces (1 box) instant vanilla pudding
8 ounces whipped topping
1/2 cup milk
20 ounces crushed pineapple, well drained
15 ounces peaches, drained and diced(not in heavy syrup)
11 ounces mandarin oranges, drained
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup halved maraschino cherries, drained
--Beat together pudding, whipped topping and milk. Fold in remaining ingredients. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
This is delicious and the colors are perfect for spring!
i think having crisp roasted potatoes goes best with ham because of the crispness and the juicyness.
The secret to a good roast potato is goose fat and to bash them up a bit before putting them in the oven. Then bits break off and become even crispier.
And you just put them in the oven and leave them for a bit so not too hard.
Hope that helps
