Big-batch recipes for a crowd — the mains, sides, and desserts built to feed a houseful, a potluck, or a holiday table. The heart of what Stephanie Cooks For A Crowd is all about.
I Don’t Even Boil the Pasta — and Nobody Can Tell This Chicken Alfredo Bake is the laziest, most forgiving dinner in my whole rotation — I dump everything into one pan, don’t even boil the pasta first, top it with cheese, and let the oven do all the work. The first time I made…
Finger-Licking Good, and the Oven Does the Hard Part These BBQ chicken legs are sticky, saucy, finger-licking good — and the best part is the oven does almost all the work. You toss the drumsticks with a little olive oil and a handful of pantry seasonings, bake them on a rack until they’re cooked through,…
We Never Actually Made These Over a Campfire Campfire potatoes are thin-sliced potatoes, sweet onion, and a couple pats of butter sealed up in a little foil packet and baked until everything is tender and buttery — and here is my confession: I have never once made them over an actual campfire. Growing up, my…
I Am Not a Delicate Southern Lady — But I Can Make This Cake This Southern butter pecan pound cake might just be my favorite dessert I make — because I am butter pecan everything. The coffee creamer, the ice cream, pecan pie, pecan bars: if it’s butter pecan, I’m in. So I took all…
These Disappear Off the Plate Faster Than I Can Fry Them Fried chicken cutlets are the one dinner my whole crowd agrees on — crispy, golden, and gone before I’ve even sat down. I take thin-sliced chicken breast, run it through a seasoned flour-egg-flour dredge, and fry it until the coating shatters when you bite…
Apparently, I Run a Pizzeria Now — And Jason’s Taco Pizza Is the Star Homemade pizza is one of those weeknight (or in our case, Friday night) miracles — dough that comes together in one bowl, toppings that work with whatever you have in the fridge, and a baked-in excuse to feed a crowd. My…
The Dinner Where Everybody Gets Exactly What They Want Nacho night is the Friday dinner I keep coming back to, and honestly it might be the smartest thing I make all week. I brown the ground beef in , I set out every topping I can find, and then I step back and let my…
Two Meats. One Pan. Nobody Goes Home Hungry. Chicken and steak fajitas are the dinner I make when I need to feed a crowd fast and still want everyone to feel like I really cooked. You get perfectly seasoned steak and chicken with caramelized peppers and onions, warm tortillas, and a full spread of toppings…
No Boiling. No Draining. One Pan of Baked Spaghetti That Feeds a Crowd. Baked spaghetti has been in my rotation for over 25 years, and the first time I tell people how it works, they always look at me like I’ve lost my mind. You break the dry spaghetti into a pan, pour a very…
The One-Pot Meal That Feeds a Crowd and Makes the Whole House Smell Amazing This jambalaya recipe is one of my all-time personal favorites, and on crowd nights when I need to feed a lot of people, it is what I keep coming back to. I made two pots side by side — one shrimp…
