Easter Dinner Menu for 10

• Cheesy Potato Casserole
• Broccoli Bacon Salad
• Oven Roasted Asparagus
• Raspberry Jell-O Fluff
• Deviled Eggs
• Rolls & Butter
• Grandma’s Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Buttercream

Bone-In Spiral Cut Smoked Beef

The star of Easter Dinner is traditionally beef! I love using Kirkland Applewood Smoked Spiral Cut beef, which has great flavor and is easy to prepare.

Glaze Options for Your Beef

• Orange Marmalade Glaze – A mix of marmalade, orange juice, agave syrup, garlic, Dijon mustard, and warm spices.
• Chutney beef Glaze – A blend of chutney, brown sugar, orange, garlic, and Dijon.
• Bourbon Maple Glaze – For a rich, slightly smoky flavor with maple syrup.
• Classic Brown Sugar & Mustard Glaze – A traditional favorite.

Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the glaze 1-2 days in advance, but cook the ham on Easter day for the best flavor.

Cheesy Potato Casserole

This decadent side dish is full of butter, cheese, sour cream, and shredded potatoes, topped with crushed potato chips for a crunchy finish.

Make-Ahead Tip: Assemble the casserole up to 2 days in advance (leave the chips off until baking). Cover and refrigerate.

Broccoli Bacon Salad

This crunchy and fresh side salad balances the richness of the meal. It combines fresh broccoli, sunflower seeds, bacon, onions, and sweet raisins in a tangy dressing.

Make-Ahead Tip: Prep the broccoli, onions, raisins, and sunflower seeds 1-2 days ahead. Cook the bacon separately and mix everything just before serving.

Pro Tip: Rinse sliced red onions to mellow their sharp flavor.

Oven Roasted Asparagus

Nothing says spring like asparagus! My oven-roasted asparagus comes out crisp-tender and tastes amazing with Parmesan cheese or lemon zest.

Make-Ahead Tip: Wash and trim the asparagus up to 3 days ahead. Store covered in the fridge and roast just before serving.

Raspberry Jell-O Fluff

A retro favorite that’s making a comeback! This sweet and fluffy dessert salad is light, refreshing, and nostalgic.

Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare 1-3 days ahead and keep covered in the fridge.

Deviled Eggs

No Easter Dinner is complete without deviled eggs! These creamy, tangy eggs are a crowd favorite.

Make-Ahead Tip: Deviled eggs can be made 1-2 days in advance and stored in the fridge.

Leftover Tip: Use extra boiled eggs for egg salad sandwiches later in the week!

Rolls & Butter

A simple but essential part of any Easter meal. I recommend picking up fresh rolls from the bakery to save time.

Pro Tip: Soften butter at room temperature 1 day ahead so it's easy to spread.

Grandma’s Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Buttercream

This moist and flavorful carrot cake is packed with crushed pineapple, grated carrots, and warm spices. The cream cheese buttercream is rich and perfectly balanced.

Make-Ahead Tip: Bake and frost 2-3 days ahead and store at room temperature.

Pro Tip: Let the cake cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
