family-sized

Feeds the household

Family-sized describes packaging or portions larger than standard, intended to serve a whole household rather than one or two people: a family-sized bag of chips, family-sized lasagna.

The term appears on food products and restaurant menus to indicate generous quantities.

It implies sharing, though nothing stops one person from consuming the whole thing.
