First, let's talk about setting up your last-minute party:

Summer is here, so I get it. Guests are inviting themselves over so you need to be prepared at all time.

For example:

The in-laws are coming to town and you need to entertain and impress. Or maybe, your teenager asked to invite his girlfriend's parents over for dinner.

Basically, you're scrambling to make everything look perfect and trying to find the perfect menu for the evening.

That's why I keep a big box of STOUFFER’S® Macaroni & Cheese Party Size in the deep freezer! It's the perfect side dish for any occasion and can be thrown in the oven in no time.

Honestly, who doesn't love the cheesy goodness of STOUFFER’S Macaroni & Cheese? It's perfectly creamy and deliciously cheesy.

Plus, it can be found right in the freezer aisle at a Walmart near you. Anytime a holiday or break is coming up – grab a box to keep in the freezer just in case.

You can never go wrong with a comfort food party.

In fact, you can make it a potluck comfort food party. In this case, you'll assign the theme to your guests.

Then, the guests would be challenged with bringing dishes that fit within that theme.

What is comfort food?

I guess this could be different for everyone but many people would agree that it's southern-style cooking.

In your family, it could be any dishes that make you feel at-home. It's food that family enjoys together in a family-style fashion.

How to setup a comfort food party at the very last minute:

If you're running last-minute for your comfort food party (like I was) then I highly recommend running to Walmart to grab some quick & easy dishes.

The STOUFFER’S Macaroni & Cheese can be found in the family meals section of the freezer aisle. Pair that with some hot fried chicken made at Walmart.

Then, pickup a few more quick sides: canned veggies, instant potatoes, dinner rolls, and a pie from Walmart's bakery.

What you need to create a party just like mine:
