Easter dinner?

[heatherbee]

My in-laws are coming for a brief visit on Easter (passing by our town on their way home from my SIL's house). They will only be here for 2-3 hours but I would like to make something decent for dinner. It needs to be super easy though because we will be gone all morning / early afternoon at my dads house for an Easter brunch.

I was thinking of ham in the crockpot but wasn't sure how good that turns out. Does anyone have experience with making a ham this way? What are others making for the day

Thanks!

We are going all out since the IL's will be here for the weekend. I'm making glazed ham, roasted cauliflower, glazed carrots, scalloped potatoes, and biscuits.

If you want to do something easy, what about some type of ham casserole? Its something you can probably even put together ahead of schedule and just throw in the oven later on.

I usually have really good luck with already cooked ham in the crock pot. Plus you can do so many things with the leftovers!

My dad always precooks ham the day before and just warms it in the oven for a bit. It's always delicious and doesn't dry out, just cover it with foil when you warm it.

We've always bought the precooked honey glazed ham and just warmed it up at home. It takes like 30 minutes and always tastes good. Hardly any work involved too. You could just do some green beans and potatoes and rolls. Pioneer woman had a mashed potatoe recipe that can be done the night before and popped in the oven to warm up.
