Any simple, cheap ideas to feed 7 adults & 3 kids for dinner?!


Question: I'm having family over for dinner tomorrow night. What can I serve that many people that's fairly quick & easy. I can't get to the store until like 4:00 & they're coming at 5:00 & can't stay too awful long.

Get three boxes of the hamburger helper Fettuccine with sauce. Add 3 lbs peeled shrimp. Serve with dinner rolls, Itallian bread, or toasted french bread and a veggie.

Go with something simple like hot dogs and chips or chicken salad and chips.Frozen pizza is cheap and easy to make too.

just get cold cuts and have everyone make their own sandwich. what do you have against spaghetti???????????????

Cold Cut Sandwiches
Lasagna
Enchiladas
Or just order pizza (always a favorite!!!)

Burgers you can pop into the microwave and they'll be done in like 2 min!

Spaggetti

cook a box of shells and cheese-not powdered cheese-according to directions-add one pound of browned beef, 1/2-3/4 c. salsa, 1/2 c. sour cream, mix well put in casserole dish and top with crushed tortilla chips and sprinkle of shredded cheese-put in oven just until cheese melts

Have some type of pasta there many so many try something new...

If your dead set against spaghetti (which is the quickest and easiest meal to cook), then how about.......................

they have the large family size frozen stouffer's meals in the freezer section of the grocery. Get 2 of those and some rolls or garlic bread. Serve with a salad and maybe macaroni or mashed potatoes. Just be sure and hide the stouffers box and transfer the food into your cooking dishes to serve in. Good luck!!

Frozen Lasagna is good. That with some garlic bread and salad and you will be set.

I love to find recipes that:
1. Make a lot;
2. Are easy to prepare; and,
3. Are fairly healthy.

So, I'm including a link to a list of recipes that fit into those three categories. Hope it helps! Even if you don't use the recipes, it might give you an idea.
