I love Sunday dinner. There’s just something special about this meal. Maybe it’s because I grew up eating home cooked Sunday dinners (meat, potatoes or rice, at least one vegetable, fruit salad, bread and dessert) on my mom’s china with pretty linens. We all helped get the meal on the table, and then sat down to discuss the events of the morning at church while enjoying every bite.
Now that I live with my husband, Sunday dinners are a little different – but still special. While I’m fixing the meal, we discuss the songs we enjoyed singing in worship or something that stood out from the Pastor’s message. Sometimes we sit at the kitchen table with my good dishes and pretty linens, other times we take our plates to the couch and watch basketball or Nascar while we eat.
No matter where we sit for the meal, it’s still important to me to take a little extra time and effort in preparing this meal each week. Here are a few of my favorite Sunday menus!
- BBQ Chicken Quarters in the slow cooker/Potato Wedges/Green Beans/Ten Minute Rolls
- Slow Cooker Creamy Ranch Chicken/Garlic Green Beans/Parmesan Knots
- Slow Cooker Pork Loin/Rosemary Roasted Mashed Potatoes/Peas
- Crock Pot Orange Chicken/Rice/Green Beans
- Mini Meatloaves/Mashed Potatoes/Corn on the Cob/Pumpkin Muffins
- Prepare the meatloaves on Saturday – pull the muffin tins out of the fridge after church. Bake while you prepare the sides!
- Hot Chicken Salad (it’s basically this recipe, with mayo substituted for the soup)/Steamed Broccoli/Baked Potatoes
- Prepare the chicken dish on Saturday – pop in the oven after church while you prepare the sides.
- Roast Chicken/Mashed Potatoes/Green Beans/Crescent Rolls

My favorite meals too! I try to do some prep ahead of time, so by the time we get home from church, and we are all starving, I’m then not cooking for another hour! But we love meatballs or any casserole!

I’ve always wanted to give mini meatloaves a try!! All of your Sunday dinners sound delicious.

They are so yummy – but if you don’t have silicone muffin tins, make sure you use cupcake liners. Otherwise you’ll be cleaning the tins for daaaays.

We still eat at my mom’s house most Sundays. My favorite is soup beans, cornbread & mashed or fried potatoes.

I have a great taco filling recipe that cooks in the crock pot while we are at church. Then, when we are ready to eat, we all get to pick our favorite toppings to suit our own taste. Easy and delicious!
Also, I remember how lovely meal time was in your family’s home. Your mom always set a pretty table, and your family was always great about sparking good conversation. I think it’s wonderful you are carrying on the tradition!
