25 Sunday Dinner Ideas for Feeding a Crowd

When you have guests over for Sunday dinner, try one of these 16 Healthy Sunday dinner ideas!

Each Sunday night we invite our adult kids to dinner. Usually we also have a few nieces and nephews who are living close, and sometimes I’ll invite my sisters family if we can’t get the young people here.

The bottom line is, each Sunday I try to think of a dinner idea that can be easily scaled to feed anywhere from 10-20 people.

So, instead of reinventing the wheel each week, my husband and I sat down and wrote our best dinner ideas that we can start putting on repeat. With 16 ideas, we would only be repeating a meal after 4 months, which is totally fine!

So, here’s our list of Sunday dinner ideas. As I make these meals over the next few months, I’ll update this list with details. In the meantime, here they are!
