Hello Ellen, I'm catering for 150 people. They are not sure of what they want but I'm suggesting Hamburger Steak w/onions & gravy, mashed potatoes, Green beans, rolls, peach cobbler or strawberry shortcake. Or Baked chicken w/ rice, Beef tips, green beans,rolls, shortcake. Please help with the quantities thanks & which meal is best |

I would not do hamburger steaks- not festive and many people are not eating as much beef and some no obvious onions, these days. What about doing a festive do-ahead chicken in sauce such as my dijon wedding chicken or chicken marsala, on the Big Pots page, quantities there? Holds better, too. If you add a beef choice you will have a considerable cost increase, since people tend to take more, and some of each, when there are 2 choices. What you do need is a side dish that can function as an entree choice for any vegetarians- with 150 people there will be some. This can be as simple as a crockpot of unchicken patties in the same sauce, labeled of course.
Do a pilaf rice with almonds or fruits, 14 pounds rice to start, maybe some left. If this is a paid gig or saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a dime per guest, to support this site. Thank you. |
