Alenee Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I'm looking for new recipes to cook for a group I serve every few months. They receive a meal twice weekly and since I only come in to cook infrequently, I've been able to stick with one meal-plan that is easy for me to plan and execute. I'd like to change it up but have a few parameters to follow: Budget- Would like to keep it under $150 Time- Only have 3 hours from start to serve Meal- Must be a nice round meal, including a small dessert and drinks Any tried and true recipes?

Orthodox6 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 One of the Moosewood cookbooks is written for "crowd cooking." You might look for a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 We have served at the local mission before and served around 100-125. We did sloppy joes, corn, pears, lettuce salad with the dressing already on it, and cake pieces for dessert. Easy to do and not very time consuming. Bought the frozen corn in bulk size bags and the pears in large cans. Lettuce salad was bought in the already cut up jumbo size bags and I believe we put Dorothy Lynch over the lettuce and tossed it in, so you don't have to fool around with doing each individual salad. Hope that will help a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sputterduck Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 We do this all. the. time. We normally have ground beef with some sort of Mexican sauce (the sauce varies widely from time to time), rice, salad with dressing, corn tortillas, whatever fruit is in season, and jello or cookies. I've taken over one of the camps we feed and I'm trying to find a way to add more calcium into that. I found a poblana soup mix that is made with milk that I think would make a good sauce. I'm also going to add spinach because it has tons of healthy stuff in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
