December 31st is your last opportunity to cook something epic—until next year, of course. Still, this is the time to go all out with our best New Year’s Eve dinner ideas. From savory starters, like party-ready dips and one-bite delights, to crowd-friendly mains, like pot roasts and extra-special pasta dishes, these New Year’s recipes are primed to send out the old and usher in the new.
Hosting a dinner party? Go for a one-pot entrée, like vermicelli chicken or mushroom bourguignon. Attending a friend’s fête? It is absolutely appropriate to bring a slow-cooker full of cocktail meatballs. Cozy night in? Bone-in pork chops make an excellent dinner for two. No matter how you celebrate, these fun bites will get the party started and keep it rolling late into the night. But first, pour yourself one of our best New Year’s Eve cocktails. Cheers!
