This week Sunday Supper reminds us that the holidays can be super chaotic! We all need all the tips and tricks we can get; like make ahead dinner party recipes. With some planning and a few make ahead recipes anyone can survive the holiday season.

Planning ahead is a must these days. I know for me it seems like all my time is scheduled. I make my guy’s meal a day ahead so he has a hot meal before he leaves for work.
Being in the business, so to speak, I know how important it is to make ahead as much party food as possible. It’s so nice to be prepared.
Beefy Au Gratin Potato Skins can be served for game night or an elegant dinner party. Picking the size of the potato lets you decide how best to serve them.
Tapas or small plates dinners would use a smaller potato. These skins could be the main event dinner offering just as easily.
I use Certified Angus Beef ® brand sirloin steak for best results. Shredded Certified Angus Beef ® brand roast beef works as well.
