Recipes for Feeding People at a Homeless Shelter

My late mother once worked at a conference centre that was situated in the country. Very simple fare and inexpensive foods. The kitchen typed out and copied some of the recipes they would make so I've got a bunch of them. I'll type one out for you and then give you a list of the others. If you are interested in the names of some of the recipes let me know and I'll type them out for you too.

Jessie Cates Meat Loaf
20 pounds ground extra lean meat
10 eggs
1 cup milk
4 oz. ketchup
12 oz. I.Q.F. onions
4 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons black pepper
1 tablespoon nutmeg
2 oz. mustard
2 cups bread crumbs

(By adding a green bell pepper or two, chopped fine
and a grated carrot you could stretch the amount of
patties you'd get.)

(there are no baking instructions)
I think I remember them served in
oblong individual loaf pans though.

How about making this up as patties and freezing them?

You could also use the meat as a base for Shepherd's Pie in large pans. Bake at 350º for 30-40 minutes. Take it out of the oven and add green beans or mixed veggies and cover with mashed potatoes and grated cheese, return to oven and bake until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Goulash, stew (using hamburger instead of stew meat), sloppy joes and potato salad. Casserole dishes can be made using considerably less meat than called for. For dessert cake will do the job. If a group like Ladies Aid or Circle is doing this the group could decide on one type of casserole and dessert, and every member could be assigned to bring either the casserole or dessert, and there should probably be some type of bread and margarine. One member could bring those items.

I am looking for recipes that are easy to prepare and can serve approximately 50 people. I have a youth group that is going to be cooking meals at a homeless shelter.
