Recipe(tried): Crockpot Ham, Dinner Rolls, Veggie Macaroni Salad, Ginger Lime Pineapple Salad - Inexpensive Easter Dinner
Menus You might want to check the ham prices in your area. Here you can get boneless hams for 77-97 cents per lb. I buy 1/2 lb for each adult and 1/4 for each child. It may figure out to less per person than ingredients for other things.
Since you are cooking for 20 these recipes can also be made ahead of time.
Crockpot Ham
I buy a fully cooked boneslss ham and wrap it in foil and stick it in the crockpot over night or for 4-5 hrs on low. You can add a glaze to the ham if you like.
Dinner Rolls
If you are interested im making rolls this is a fantastic recipe:
2 cups milk-scalded in microwave-4 min.
1/2 cup margarine melted in the milk
1/2 cup honey
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
2 pkg yeast.
4-7 cups flour (can be 1/2 whole wheat if you like)
Mix first 6 ingredients.
Stir in in enough flour to make dough easy to handle (can be slightly sticky) Knead a couple of times on floured surface. Place in greased bowl. cover and let rise until double (1-l/2-2 hrs. Punch down and shape into rolls. Place in greased baking pan. Let rise 30 min or until double. Bake 15-20 min at 350 degrees
Veggie Macaroni Salad
Makes 20 servings
They always request that I bring this salad to family dinners and celebrations. Its great and easy to make.
2 lb. macaroni, cooked and cooled
2 green pepper, chopped
2 onions chopped
8 carrots shredded
Dressing:
1 can Eagle Brand Milk
3/4 cup vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups miracle whip
1 tsp salt or salt to taste
1/4 tsp pepper
Add veggies to cooked macaroni and mix well. Combine dressing and pour over salad. Mix Well and chill at least 4 hrs (I like to chill it overnight)
Ginger Lime Pineapple Salad
Serves 10
This salad is so refreshing and great with ham!
1 (15 l/4 oz.) can chunk pineapple in juice
1 (6 oz.) box lime Jello
1-l/2 cups boiling water
1 cup ginger ale-cold
1/4 tsp powdered ginger
Drain pineapple reserving juice. Dissolve Jello in boiling water. Add reserved juice, ginger ale and ginger. Chill until thickened. Fold in pineapple chunks and chill until firm about 4 hrs.
The stores usually have angel food cakes on special at Easter too. I would buy a couple of those and serve with fresh sliced strawberries.
Happy Easter
