What to serve with mac and cheese?

We are having another family over for dinner tomorrow night. I am going to do PW's mac and cheese, as well as roasted carrots and asparagus. What meat should I serve with it? I suggested meatloaf, but MH reminded me that was we had last time they hosted.

4 adults, 3 kids.

    There is a food network recipe for chicken strips breaded with sesame seeds and breadcrumbs and baked.  They are really good.  It's a Paula Deen recipe.  Something like that would be good!

    Is it wrong that that mac n cheese could totally be a main dish for me?

    Mrs. JDD - thanks. I think I found it on the Foodnetwork site.

    ...that's an idea! Do you have a good recipe? I usually just throw a pork loin in the crockpot and add some BBQ sauce.

    This is my absolute favorite pulled pork recipe, people rave about it!

    Half of the time, I just used bottled bbq sauce to save a little bit of time and it is still delish!  It really doesn't even need sauce.

    This is exactly what I do.  Although, I always dump a can of coke in with the roast just because I once read to do that, and I figure why not.  LOL!  I always use the famous daves sauce.

    It definitely is for me, but for the men in our friends/family, they need meat.

    How about a roast pork loin?  It's my cheap, easy, for-a-crowd meat.  Just tie, season, brown, and roast on 300 for about 50 minutes.  That gives me 50 minutes to do everything else. And leftovers are great on sandwiches or fried rice.

    it is for me. I never serve meat dishes and cheese dishes together.  mac n cheese served with salad and roasted veggies = a meal for my family.
