Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'Mormon' (a member of the LDS faith) + 'family' (people related by blood/marriage) yields a family whose members belong to that faith. This pattern is predictable and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The phrase Mormon family comes from the name Mormon, used for people who follow the Book of Mormon, an important book for their church. So a Mormon family is a family whose members 'belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints'.
