Need some menu ideas for an outdoor dinner with friends. What are your go-to crowd pleasers? |
Outdoor like grilling? Or just eating outdoors? |
Either one is fine. |
Is there anyone in any season who dislikes fried chicken? |
Sliced skirt steak fajitas. So easy to make ahead. |
Chili and cornbread with toppings |
Lasagna, meat and a vegetable selection, salad and garlic bread. |
How many people? Kids and adults or adults only? |
Vegetarians |
I made an instant pot roast yesterday which was easy and everyone was happy. |
Fried chicken involves just standing at the stove forever while your guests hang out outside, though. OP should do something more hands-off to be able to be with her guests. |
Crock pot pork bbq with Costco Mac & cheese |
For dessert, Pumpkin Pie cake: https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/recipe/pumpkin-pie-cake-recipe/
