Answers:
$300 for 60 people!?
I'm in the catering business and can't fathom $300 for 60 people!.
( McDonald's would cost about that) ($10 per person)!.
I'll say a salad and a pasta dish and an inexpensive dessert!.
Cheap meat dishes!?
Anything you can make with Chuck!.
Stew
Pot roast
( chopped meat for meatloaf) !.
Ok, maybe
Meatloaf
Mashed Potatoes
Salad!.
That's doable ( not exciting though)!.
Chicken dishes!.
Beer batter Chicken
Mashed potato's
Gravy and corn or another veggie!.
Your forgetting one thing here!.
yes we are caterers but we don't work for nothing!.
if I had to serve even chili and salad for that many people it would be 3x or more what the ingredients cost!.
But your doing it yourself so that takes that factor out!.
Yes,
like I said,
Chopped meat items
meatloaf, Salisbury steaks, meatballs and spaghetti
chicken dishes!.
Alot of mashed potato's!.
In other words, very simple items!.
Rice dishes etc etc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

How about a pasta based main dish such as spaghetti and meatballs, lettuce salad, and garlic bread!. Any money left , you could have a dip of sherbet or something cool for dessert!. Could just put some browned ground beef in the spaghetti sauce instead of meat balls, probably could use less meat that way and easier to serve!. Homemade oil and vinegar based dressing offering only one kind would probably cut costs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

$5 each should be easy!. Go to your local pizza place!. They probably have pizza, pasta and salad special!. Or Subway, Quizno's or a local deli!.
If you plan on doing it yourself, spaghetti, corn-on-the-cob and a huge salad!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
