40 Meals for Large Family Gatherings
Spring! It’s time for you to throw open the windows, spend time outside in your garden, and spend time with all of your people! Because the weather is finally warm again, friends and family pop over for visits more regularly, and that means large numbers of guests for dinner! And being a super busy Momma, I know that even without that, many of us Mommas have large groups just cooking for our own people every night of the week! We’ve all had those days where we’re too busy to cook dinner, or maybe it’s too hot to cook a big meal in the oven, but you still need to feed your large family. This MEGA list of 40 Meals for Large Family Gatherings is here to help you juggle all of the warm weather fun and still care for your loved ones at home.
In this post, you’ll find a huge list of mega meals for any type of meal you need for your Large Family Gatherings this Spring. Maybe it’s a Low Carb meal kind of night, or maybe you want to take a casserole to that church pot-luck? I’ve got you covered, friend! With everything from easy-oven dinners to ground beef dinner ideas, this Spring and your Large Gatherings are going to be great!
What is a Good Meal to Feed a Large Crowd?
The humble Crockpot is most definitely one of this busy mama’s favorite kitchen tools because it helps save two of our most limited resources – time and money. I’m always looking for recipes for cheap slow cooker meals to add to our menu each week since I use my slow cooker quite often.
One great thing about making cheap slow cooker meals is that you can just dump & go. When you have to be out & about or you just want to spend the day in the garden, you can prep everything in the morning and have dinner ready to go when it’s time!
