Cooking for a large house can sometimes be quite a challenge. Planning ahead and creating tasty house evening meal ideas is the way to stay on top of it. You can admittedly use the seasons to your advantage when cooking for a large family. While the warmer months of the year, use your outdoor grill as much as possible. With a larger cooking space, you can grill any pieces of chicken or hamburgers or hot dogs in report time. Serve your grilled meat with a scoop of barbecued baked beans and an ear of corn on the cob and you have a quick and tasty evening meal for a large house that was made in no time flat!
In the colder months, it is all about casseroles, which can serve a large family. Many population are not fans of "one-pot" meals, but with a large house and very slight time, sometimes sacrifices have to be made. Integrate diced ham with cooked egg noodles, cream of chicken soup, shredded cheddar cheese, canned corn and diced green peppers in a greased casserole dish. Top it with bread crumbs and more cheddar cheese and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees and you have a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs meal with only one pan to clean up, leaving you more time to spend with that large brood of yours!

Take to other families who have a large household for more house evening meal ideas. Often times, sharing and swapping recipes will give you new and improved ideas to serve your family. If you live in a good community, come up with a "day of cooking" program where you take your kids to the neighbors and you spend the entire day cooking and frosty items that you can use for the month. On a separate day, your neighbors will do the same. This is a great way to keep your freezers stocked with wholesome meals and your children will enjoy having a play date with some of their friends! frosty items such as meatloaf, tuna casseroles, spaghetti sauces and soups is a great plan on colder months when you are not able to use your outdoor grill as much.
