Meals for large families/groups?

I will be hosting a lot of family from OOS for 2+ weeks at Thanksgiving. Everyone will be staying with us so I will need to handle dinner every night for between 6-8 adults plus 2 toddlers. We'll be going out or ordering in a few nights, we have my kids B-day party which will be catered, plus Thanksgiving...but I still need like 10 meals that I can make for a crowd. With leftovers for lunches, etc.

Any ideas? Was thinking sliced steak sandwiches one night, lasagna and salad, chili, chicken cutlets. Maybe a honey baked ham or a big turkey breast?

I think all of your idea so far sound perfect. Maybe a taco night, homemade pizzas, meatloaf and mashed potatoes, pot roast or roast beef, chicken pot pie, shrimp scampi with pasta.
