Large batch recipes for feeding a crowd by Stephanie Longstreth
Some Recipes Are Just Dangerous to Have Around the House This ranch snack mix is one of them, y’all. Mini pretzels, Cheez-Its and mini saltines get tossed in melted butter, avocado oil and ranch seasoning, then baked low and slow until they’re toasty and crispy, and it is not going to last long. I made…
A creamy chicken, broccoli and cheddar filling baked inside crescent rolls into a golden ring that slices into easy pieces. Mix the filling the night before.
Apple pie bites made the shortcut way, with refrigerated pie crust, doctored-up canned apple pie filling, and a buttery brown sugar crumble. One batch makes about 36.
The Day After the Big Dinner, This Is What I Make These turkey cranberry sliders are what I make with the leftover turkey the day after our big holiday meal. Hawaiian rolls get layered with turkey, a little crumbled leftover stuffing, cranberry sauce, and Swiss cheese, then brushed with a garlic mustard butter and baked…
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme. That’s the Rule With the Turkey. This roaster oven turkey is how I cook the holiday turkey for a crowd. The turkey gets a generous coat of herb butter — parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme — and roasts in an electric roaster at 325°F, so both of my ovens stay…
Not a Fan of Brussels Sprouts? These Have Bacon. These roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon are the ones I make for a holiday crowd. Brussels sprouts, sliced onion, and raw bacon get tossed with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper, then roasted on a sheet pan until they’re caramelized. Even people who aren’t fans of…
The Butter and Cream Cheese Go on Top. Don’t Stir. This crockpot creamed corn is the easiest side on my holiday menu. Frozen corn, milk, a little sugar, salt, and pepper go into the crockpot, then a whole stick of butter and a block of cream cheese go right on top. You don’t stir them…
Nobody Will Know It Came From a Box. I Won’t Tell Them. This doctored-up Stove Top stuffing is my leveled-up box stuffing — sautéed celery, onion, and garlic, a rich buttery broth, and a pan of stuffing topped with pats of butter and crispy fried onions. It tastes homemade, but we’ve got a nice shortcut…
Make It Tonight. Bake It Tomorrow. That’s It. This sweet potato casserole is a holiday classic, and the best part is that you make it the day before — on the big day, all you do is pull it out of the fridge and pop it in the oven. Two big cans of sweet potatoes…
Two Ingredients. One Gallon. Nobody Believes It. This cranberry ginger ale punch is the easiest thing I serve at any get-together — one bottle of cranberry juice and one 2-liter of ginger ale, chilled and poured together, and that is the whole recipe. It is non-alcoholic, it is the prettiest red in a glass dispenser,…
