<p>Please share your go-to recipes for taking food to people. The people I need to feed (my inlaws) are meat-eaters. Specifically red meat. They don’t like Italian food which is my usual go-to in these situations. I’ve already done a roast and vegetables but I need something new for this weekend. They also do not want anything too spicey. We live on boneless skinless chicken breasts and italian food so I need some ideas.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>How about an easy meatloaf with gravy, mashed potatoes, and vegetable?</p>
<p>if it doesn’t have to be red meat, I take ham, macoroni and cheese and veggies to people just out of the hospital a lot.</p>
<p>I made this Beef Burgundy recipe (South Beach diet), substituting pearl onions for the onion it called for, last week, and even my non-dieting son liked it. It was easy to warm up the next day. I served it with rice, rolls, lettuce salad and fruit.</p>

<p>Pepper steak stir fry is easy to do. I’ve done that and taken the rice packets that you steam in the microwave with it so they can do the rice when they’re ready to eat.</p>
<p>oh forgot one I have taken sweedish meatballs over egg noodles as well. Very easy to do (you can even buy premade frozen meatballs)</p>
<p>Swiss steak. They can warm up as much as they want at a time and/or freeze the leftovers.</p>
<p>How about a good old-fashioned beef stew, with lots of potatoes and carrots? It reheats well. (I shouldn’t be writing this while I’m hungry.)</p>
<p>Hamburger pie! It’s yummy.</p>
