What's your go-to meal for guests?

Shepherds Pie. Ground meat with prepacked shepherds pie mix and carrots and corn topped off with mashed potatoes and cheese and baked until warm. It's an all in one meal. Goes perfectly with a salad and some bread like item.

Baked ziti with garlic bread and a salad. Best recipe I've found so far is on back of the San Gorgiano box of ziti.

Some sort of pasta. That's the one thing I can't fuck up. LOL

Crock pot roast chicken with potatoes/mixed veggies

[GracieLouFreebush1]

Sausage and spinach stuffed shells with garlic bread and a big salad. Annie's Eats has a good recipe but they're pretty easy to tweak. You could do half white sauce and half red.

My inlaws always ask for this:

A roast is so damn easy to do.  Take the meat, coat lightly in oil. I add salt, pepper, a bunch of garlic all over.  Stick in a roasting pan with one onion cut in half.  I cook at about 300 until the proper temp.  You can also cut up some potatoes and roast them in with the meat.  Put them in after the meat has been in the oven about an hour.  You can pretty much ignore this and it comes out great.   And the old folks in my family think I'm being all fancy when I do this.

If you want easy and casual these are amazing.  We make them for parties or for smaller groups and everyone loves them.  We haven't used the Hawaiian rolls, we just use regular white rolls.

For a group that large, I'd do spaghetti and meatballs or pulled pork sandwiches w/all the fixings and sides.

Both of those are really easy.

It's really easy and you can make the sauce stuff the day before. I usually broil or bake the chicken.

[mbcdefg]

I've done a whole roast chicken (plus a few separate bone-in pieces and boneless skinless breasts if there's more than four of us), mashed potatoes, and vegetables.

Pork tenderloin with a wine-mustard sauce, plus potato and vegetable

Lasagna is a good idea, or ziti, with green salad and fresh bread. Or a big pan of baked macaroni and cheese.

London Broil can be done in the oven pretty quickly, and it's inexpensive so you can get three or four if need be.

Pulled pork in the crockpot, with potato rolls, cole slaw or potato salad, green salad, and maybe some baked beans.

Or we'll order roast chicken, ribs, rice, and vegetables from a Peruvian place by our house, or the Portuguese place by our friends' house if we're visiting them.

[Jillaroo]

Applebee's.

Just kidding. Usually chicken enchiladas because I can prep them beforehand. And they are easy!

[lola]

Tacos are easy for a large crowd.

Baked potato bar.

Sloppy Joes and potato chips.

Any kind of pasta.

[Waffles]

Chili or spaghetti bolognese or anything I can throw in the oven and forget about (lasagna, roast, moussaka)

[Deleted]

Oven fried chicken

BBQ ribs

Steaks on the grill

Pork fried rice

[snickers]

Pizza, lol.

[eb777888]

Usually crowd pleasers: lasagna, pot roast, roasted chicken, enchiladas.

Last time I fed a lot of people I made chicken cacciatore and served it over pasta. Add a side salad and some garlic bread or good Italian bread. You can make it in the crock pot if you wanted to make things easier.

Jaylea's beef stew. With biscuits.

Pot roast in the crock pot with veggies and a salad.
