A spicy lasagne for those of us who love Mexican and Italian food. Hugely fattening - hugely satisfying. Everyone I've made it for has wanted seconds. You will need about 3 jars of prepared bechamel sauce or you can make your own. Mixing bechamel sauce and taco seasoning sounds strange, but tastes amazing.

If you love going out for burgers, you'll be amazed by how easy it is to make your own gourmet burgers at home! These homemade juicy beef patties are beautifully seasoned and full of flavour. Pop them in the pan, then finish them off with melted Swiss cheese, plus all the classic toppings!
This beef sausage casserole has been a family hit for several generations. Cheap, easy, the kids love it, and it's a nice way to eat sausages that can sometimes be a little boring. You may like to double this, because everyone loves it so much!

Quiche Lorraine is truly the queen of quiches. Yes, spinach quiche gives it a good nudge, but there’s something magical about salty bacon and melty cheese suspended in a silky cream, baked in a crisp crust. This recipe gets all the brownie points as not only is it easy to get on the table for the family dinner, it’s also perfect date night food. Light the candles, turn on some Edith Piaf and serve this glorious quiche Lorraine with a green salad and a crisp glass of Chablis.To really get the best out of this easy quiche Lorraine recipe, be sure to read the notes below. They’ll ensure your crust remains crispy while the filling retains that delicate custardiness that makes quiche Lorraine one of our all-time favourite dishes ever.

There are lots of bar ideas out there, such as the Nacho bar, Baked potato bar, Burrito bar, Hot dog bar, Root Beer float bar, Hawaiian Haystacks bar, Sandwich bar, etc. All of these can be done on the cheap, and links to all these ideas can be found below.
Each adult will consume 1 pound of food total; children, about 1/2 pound. The more options you have, the less you need of each; decrease the main course portion sizes by 1 to 2 ounces if served on a buffet.
Consider serving dishes that can be prepared in large quantities such as pasta, rice, or casseroles. These options are not only cost-effective but also easy to portion and serve to a larger group. Buffet-style meals can also be a budget-friendly option for catering to 50 people.
The cheapest food to cater is any rice or noodle-based cultural cuisine. Mexican, Indian, and Thai dishes are delicious and affordable. Or, if you're hosting an event during the day, serve brunch and breakfast items.
Opt for chicken and pork dishes because they are cheaper meat choices than beef. Opt for cookies, fruit cups, and pre-portioned slices of cake as dessert fare instead of ice cream.
