sandyhas3chucks Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Any tips, how do you calculate? If someone has done for 30 I could multiply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 WOW!!! Thats a lot of kidney beans! I'd love to help but wouldn't know where to start in catering for 60! How about you do a range of chillis each with a different heat strength instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 that'd be even MORE work! Just done a whole slow cooker full, that according to recipe is ONLY enough for 8. Guess that is with nothing else, doing spuds in jackets with it. And veggie options. Oh and plain grated cheese. That no right for any one tough there's always french bread My skills if you can call it that is basic Christmas Dinner for 8 Can feed 100 dogs and 8 chiickens now but 60 people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I usually cook a batch with 500g of Beef mince for the 4 of us. But you could really up the veggie content (cubed courgette,red pepper,an extra tin of tomatoes etc) & probably get away with it feeding 8 I reckon. Those kidney beans with chilli sauce are really good too, & I usually throw in a can a baked beans too if I need to stretch it any further. Hope that helps?

ali-s Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I'll ask one of the chefs at work today. The mince arrives at the school in big plastic crates which hold about 40lbs, but I'm not sure how many that feeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitchens Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Throw some red peppers in there too to bulk it up a bit. You could also have side dishes of homous, guacamole, salsa, grated cheese and doritos which are yum. What's the occasion? Good luck... and have lots of fun.

sandyhas3chucks Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 Thanks , done half and in freezer, it was not as hard as I thought. I will do other half on Friday so it will be pretty much fresh. Occasion is OH 80th!!!! It looks very kidney bean is so was thinking less or noe in the next lot, extra toms maybe? The Peppers ? Any other thoughts. (lentils or pearl barley?) There are more like 75 coming now! Got one large Tuna Pasta bake coming and some Veggie bits, and Veggie Enchiladas. Of Soup And french bread.! Pudding Easy choc Ices from Sainsbury. Hardest bit is checking ALL things for hidden egg products and only eat free range pork. so all products are off due to cost! And shed load of crisp type rubbish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 You will probably find that you will use less in jacket potatoes than on rice. I would just add a few beans at the end of cooking the next batch, if you are planning on mixing the 2 together. Tortilla chips go well with chilli as does sour cream.
