Christmas is just around the corner and I am sure you are fidgeting between multiple Christmas Dinner Menu Ideas. To help create more problems for you, I am sharing more options from the traditional Christmas Dinner recipe ideas.
If you have not decided on a menu yet, then please go through these recipes which are mostly prepared every festive season, Christmas eve, and I think you should also give them a chance.
1. Pigs In A Blanket Wreath
Everyone loves pigs in a blanket but what makes it so Christmasy? The fact that I suggest you serve it like a wreath. It could even become your centrepiece which will transform your table from a regular to a holiday table.
2. Cherry Bourbon Glazed Ham
This dish by Delish is a Christmas party on its own where the tart cherries and bourbon combine together to bring slight sourness and oaky tartness to our flavourful ham. The glaze on the ham is seasoned with cayenne pepper which brings the perfect heat.
3. Garlic Mashed Potatoes
I am a garlic fan personally and I like mashed potatoes. When I read garlic mashed potatoes, I could not resist putting them on the list. The additional flavour of roasted garlic to mushy potatoes will make this dish heaven.
4. Chicken and Mushroom White Lasagna
A cheesy lasagna can’t be not cooked for Christmas eve. Also, this recipe incorporates creamy cheesy sauce Mornay, chopped chicken pieces, spinach, mushroom, fresh herbs and heavenly seasonings making it perfect for Christmas dinner.
5. Beef Wellington
Do you like beef? Everybody who eats it likes it and this tricky yet delicious dish called Beef Wellington can be a great fit for your Christmas Dinner table for the ones who eat it. The best thing about this dish is that you can prepare it with your personal touch.
6. Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole
I love cauliflower fritters and I love broccoli is wasn’t a difficult choice to make. These tender flowers covered in homemade creamy sauce offer a great side dish. If you wish to turn it into a full meal, then mix some shredded rotisserie chicken into it.
7. Pull-Apart Christmas Tree
While you are jumping across the traditional Christmas dinner menu ideas, you should also prepare a pull-apart Christmas Tree to make your dining experience Christmasy and cheesy. Bake savouring cheese balls while placed in the shape of a Christmas tree which are ceased with aromatic herbs and butter.
8. Perfect Roast Lamb
If you can roast a chicken, then you can also roast a lamb. Just rub your meat with a mixture of aromatic herbs, fresh garlic and the best olive oil. Throw this pampered lamb in the oven for an hour. I would recommend you roast your lamb on a bed of potatoes.
9. Skillet Cornbread
We love a not-so-messy dish and cornbread is the perfect pick when it comes to such a dish. You should also serve it on Christmas eve to offer your guests a crispy crust with moist corn cake inside.
10. Garlic & Herb Turkey Roulade
If you do not want to go with roasting a whole turkey, then may I suggest a roulade? Equally flavourful, preparing a roulade is super easy that shall still manage to burst a bomb of flavours in your mouth. Also, it is easier to carve, if you would like to do it as they do it.
11. Smothered Pork Chops
Pork is my favourite which becomes even better when I can cook it effortlessly. One such recipe is smothered pork chops. It does not require you to turn on your oven and all you have to do is let it simmer in flavourful sauce on low heat. The pork becomes tender with time and the hints of the sauce penetrate it.
12. Bacon Brie Crescent Wreath
Just like a wreath that I suggested at the beginning of this article, you can create a wreath with a bacon brie crescent. However, if you wish to make a vegetarian wreath this time, then may I suggest you use mushrooms instead of bacon?
13. Turkey Meatloaf
Meatloaf is always amazing but Christmas demands turkey so why not prepare a meatloaf but with turkey. You can load your turkey meatloaf with Worcestershire garlic, thyme, rosemary and other preferred herbs and aromatic spices.
14. Vegetarian Mushroom Gravy
If you are looking for something vegetarian and yet as yummy as a non vegetarian option, then go for mushroom gravy. There are multiple ways you can prepare it but I like a flavour packed gravy that has creamy texture. It goes perfectly on the side.
15. Vegan Mushroom Pot Pie
16. Cranberry Sauce
17. Slow-Roasted Pork And Peppers
18. Holiday Roasted Vegetables
19. Easy Stuffed Mushrooms
20. Candied Yams
21. Sausage Balls
22. Honey-Glazed Carrots
23. Baked Corn Casserole
