Making Lasagna For 175 People

RE: Making Lasagna For 175 People Post by WIsgal (165) | (06/22/2008) Profile | Contact 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.

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 Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Lasagna For 175 People Post by lynnt (9) | (06/20/2008) Profile | Contact The following is on Allrecipes.com site with a scalable link to change the recipe for diffent numbers of servings.

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!

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.

I think the best bet may be to buy the Costco Lasagna, it is very good in taste and a good buy too!
