Hi all. My hubby is in charge of the Childrens Services Holiday Party that is put on every year by his Reserve Squadron.
They usually do Spaghetti, sauce, bread and dessert. I don't know if they do a vegi or salad. They do Spaghetti because they do not have cooking facilities and they can do it on propane burners (I think). But, Steve wants to do Lasagna - prep ahead - bake and serve. He is exploring ideas on getting the chow hall to cook it - or having us cook it at home and transport 45 min - to the base for the dinner. He thougth it could proabably be put in coolers and kept warm - instead of cool. Other than health issues he is not under any health agence scrutiny.
Do you any of you with experiance with this have any thoughts?
He things there will probably be around 100 people - maybe less - hopefully he is getting a better number today - but that includes helpers and kids. How much lasagna would you prepare? I don't think he will be doing a real deep lasagna - but a good one with at least a couple of layers.
We were thinking of having a prep party the week before - freezing them and thawing in the refer the day before.
Do any of you have any good catering lasagna recipes? We would like a nice one but can't be too extravagant.
PJ - Didn't you once post a site for catering quantities and menus?
Hope I haven't rambled on too much.
