My girlfriend and I have moved in together after choosing to live in sin. Her parents are visiting us this weekend and I came up with the awful idea of making dinner instead of going out to eat. It'd be too awkward a commitment to back out of. What can I make that will impress her parents while also being "low risk?"

I'm thinking we'll spend most of our time in the kitchen and living room. Our bedroom habits aren't any of their business.

Google a recipe and win heats with nostalgia

Just add some cream to a microwave dinner and make it on a pan instead of a microwave.

I'm def going to inquire about what everyone likes. Again it's just the four of us. I know I'm making Chef John's peach cobbler for dessert. I'm leaning on some simple braised beef and maybe some horseradish and garlic mashed potatoes with a tomato and bean salsa.

id recommend bouef bourguignon with mashed potatoes, its sophisticated enough and you can just chill out during the meal and dont have to do too much when its time for dinner, also its pretty easy which is probably important for you

First ask your gf what they like/dislike or if they have allergies.
Then either showcase a good dish from your family or just go like this anon >>8717478
said for a bœuf bourguignon. It's simple and classy enough, get a good bordeaux to go with it if you can afford it, a decent rhone/languedoc would be an ok substitute.

Chicken chasseur is also a good option, marco has a decent video even though it's knorr.
If you have fresh tarragon go for it.

Braised lamb shanks or beef short ribs. Fool proof and a low active cooking time gives you time to bang their daughter before they come over

Duck Confit is not as difficult as I thought it would be.
Pair with a simple fennel/green salad or white bean stew and with some presentation it's impressive as shit.
