Ok i know this is going to get moved but i really did not know where to put it.
Ok so here it is. Last August, for a church/communitee function. I was put in charge to cook for 850 people for a Hawaiian Lou-ow. I was also in charge of entertainment. Luckily i know alot of Hawaiian dancers. The menu was awesome. I cooked 15-20 pork butts and 150 pounds of chicken. There were tons of sides such as Rice, salad, Fruit, desserts and plenty of other good stuff. I did it all for under 750$. Thankfully i had over 60 people donate side dishes and what not.
Well last night i get a call from a lady in my Neighborhood to meet at her house at 6:30 to discuss the summer party. This year i told them i will do the cooking but i will not do both the cooking and finding the entertainment. Last year was my first year. They agreed. Well they want to do a Latin American theme.
Taco salads and chilie is our main dish. I would like some ideas if possible for really good taco meat. I was going to do shredded beef, since last year i did pulled pork. They wanted ground beef. Fine with me. Means less work. So i need a tasty ground beef recipe for taco meat and possible serving suggestions of meat per salad. i was thinking half cup to a cup.
The next item of business is the chili. I need 800 cups of chili. i am going to have volunteers bring the chili so some of it will be homemade while some of it will be store bought and heated in a crok pot. I was thinking of printing up a recipe and passing out to a select few of the volunteers so that we have a verity of chili. Thats were you guys come in. I need a simple recipe that will be tasty and simple. Possibly use already canned chili as the main ingredient and add to it.
I appreciate the help. Last year before i became a member here, i had tons of help from kamodos forum. The cool thing about this project is that no one gets paid and that its all service work and donations.
Here are some pics form last year.
there ya go. enjoy
