So you’re feeding a large group of people and you want to make a classic dish that will please everyone – beef and noodles. But how do you make enough for 50 people without spending hours in the kitchen? Here is a basic recipe for beef and noodles that will feed a group of 50, with some tips on how to make it as smoothly as possible.
Ingredients:
-7 lbs ground beef
-4 onions, diced
-6 cloves garlic, minced
-4 cans (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
-2 cans (15 oz) tomato sauce
-2 cans (15 oz) beef broth
-1 lb wide egg noodles
-Salt, pepper, and other spices to taste
Instructions:
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain any excess fat and remove from pot.
2. Add the onions and garlic to the pot and cook until softened.
3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and egg noodles.
4. Season with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked.
Tips:
-To save time, you can brown the ground beef in advance and store in the fridge or freezer until you’re ready to use it.
-If you’re short on time, you can use pre-cooked frozen beef or even canned beef instead of cooking the beef from scratch.
-Don’t forget to account for additional salt if you’re using canned beef or broth.
-Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to four days or frozen for up to three months
