I'm looking for an easy recipe for lasagna. I will be feeding about 175 people and I'm not sure how much to prepare.

I would consider checking a catering service for their pricing. Even using a pan that serves 25 you would need 7 pans. That could be a problem baking so all are done and still hot at the same time. I figure it cost about $8.00 to make a 9 X 13" pan. When you consider your time and cost of ingredients and having the oven on you may come out ahead. You also have to gather the pans, or buy them.

My recipe is simple and feeds 6 with leftovers.

1 lb hamburger (or turkey it's a little cheaper)
6 lasagna noodles
1 can Italian tomato
1 can tomato puree
2 packages of deli sliced mozzarella (11 slices each package)
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp garlic powder ( we love garlic-my mom uses 1 1/2 tsp)
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp onion salt
salt and pepper to taste

Brown meat and drain. Cook lasagna noodles according to package and drain. Blend tomatoe puree and Italian tomatoes along with spices then pour mixture into drained hamburger. Use the little bit of sauce left in the blender or get some out of the pot of meat mixture and spread in the bottom of the casserole pan to keep noodles from sticking. Layer noodles, meat, then cheese and repeat.
Cook on 400 for 20-25 minutes on electric stove
Cook on 350 for 20-25 minutes on gas stove

I've made lasagna for 150 people. What I do is use ziti instead of lasagna noodles. In a huge disposable baking pan, I mix the cheeses into the cooked ziti, add the sauce and meat mixture.

Mix up all the items together and bake it for 30 minutes.
pull it out, add cheese on top, bake for another 10 or so minutes and it's done. Tastes just like lasagna without all the fuss. It has always been a huge hit at parties and potlucks! Good luck!

Lasagna can be very expensive to make. When I feed large groups of people (I've cooked for 375 at a time) I buy premade frozen lasagnas. You should sample a few brands to determine which one you like best. They usually make about 12-16 servings, so you would need to purchase 15(fifteen) premade lasagnas to have 182 servings or 11 (eleven) for 176 servings. Best of all clean-up is a "toss" away.

Google "recipes for a crowd" or large quantity recipes - you'll find a number of choices. Best wishes!

I could give you my recipe that is very easy, but a little costly. I think the best bet may be to buy the Costco Lasagna, it is very good in taste and a good buy too!

I would figure that a normal sized lasagna pan would serve 6-8 people depending on the portion size, I would figure 6 so you will probably 38 or so regular size pans, that way you have a little extra for anyone who wants to take some home.
