TO SERVE AN ARMY - Duchess - 09-28-2012 When you need to feed a gathering of people in a casual atmosphere what do you make? RE: TO SERVE AN ARMY - QueenBee - 09-28-2012 Whatever you make, go with buffet style, and plenty of finger foods. You could go with the usual mac & cheese, or some such pasta casserole. If no one is kosher, maybe a spiral ham. As I type this, some recipes are coming to mind. I will start looking some up and post them here.

I want a pot where I can just throw in a bunch of stuff in & voila'. RE: TO SERVE AN ARMY - ramseycat - 09-28-2012 (09-28-2012, 12:15 PM)Duchess Wrote: A phone call to the caterer. RE: TO SERVE AN ARMY - Maggot - 09-28-2012 Who cares.........just wear something with plenty of cleavage. When feeding an army. RE: TO SERVE AN ARMY - Midwest Spy - 09-28-2012 Manwiches. RE: TO SERVE AN ARMY - Duchess - 09-28-2012 Maybe I'll cook a ham & go from there. I cooked a turkey recently & even though my home filled with smoke it turned out beautifully. RE: TO SERVE AN ARMY - SIXFOOTERsez - 09-28-2012 I usually break out the turkey frier and fire up the smoker RE: TO SERVE AN ARMY - Jimbone - 09-28-2012 Big pot of chili would work. RE: TO SERVE AN ARMY - sally - 09-28-2012 Jambalaya with garlic bread and a big salad.

I've made this before with sausage & shrimp but it all started from a box, Zatarains or something like that.

Ham is probally the easiest. If you need a side these potatoes are always good and easy, the recipe can also be doubled.(09-28-2012, 10:31 PM)sally Wrote: Jambalaya Cheesy potatoes 1 stick melted butter 1⁄2 tablespoon onion powder 2 cups grated cheddar cheese 1 teaspoon salt 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper 1 regular size can of cream of mushroom soup 1⁄3 cup sour cream 2 lbs frozen shredded hash browns thawed Mix all together, place in a large casserole dish and bake at 350 for an hour or untill browned.

I will give you all the credit given the people I would be feeding will know immediately that I wasn't clever enough to come up with this on my own...and thanks for not giving me something with too many steps. RE: TO SERVE AN ARMY - QueenBee - 09-29-2012 Those cheesy potatoes do look good, Sally. Will have to try them myself. RE: TO SERVE AN ARMY - QueenBee - 09-29-2012 This is good for an appetizer or side. I have made it several times, and folks love it. I serve it with the Tostitos scoops chips.
