I'm having a dinner party for 5 people and would like some good suggestions, THANK YOU!?!

Why don`t you make a home made lasagne,very easy,and with the beef mince make a pot of chilli also,give them a choice,it won`t go to waste,both quick and easy,serve a side salad to go with it.

How about trying beef stroganoff... it's quick, easy & very tasty. You can't go wrong! :) Serve it with rice, couscous or even on pasta like linguine

This recipe serves it with egg noodles:

EASY BEEF STROGANOFF

1 to 1/2 pounds stew beef
1 package egg noodles
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
6 oz sour cream
mushrooms

Prepare noodles as directed. Fry beef and mushrooms in skillet with 2 tablespoon oil.
Drain noodles add beef (can add oil too), soup and sour cream.
This is better served the next day

If I had to cook for 5 people I would either make a big lasagna and serve it with a salad and garlic bread or spicy meatballs which I serve over rice and then have a salad as well.

That or enchiladas with beans and spanish rice.

Try tuna, Or some chicken, Or simply pasta.

Spaghetti or lasagna. Garlic or cheese bread. Garden or Cesar salad.

Tuna steaks - very easy to make - just don't overcook them.

Cold pasta salad.
