We’re curious about your chicken recipe also. (I always look at your menu!) We feed 125 to 150 people a week on Wednesday nights–but we do it with basically 2 to 4 workers! We’re envious of your team!

I have started cooking for our church on Wednesday night. I have found your website very inspiring. We have about 30 people right now and my budget is $50 . We also need to have a salad with main course. I’ve started asking for dessert donations each week . Any idea on which of your recipes would be cheapest. I though taco bar but after I purchased everything it came out more than the previous frozen lasagna night

I would also be interested if you did a Facebook live seminar or I could even come visit. Would love to know more how to organize , order, run recruit helpers , sanitize, purchase supplies .?

  Thanks for the comments and questions, Susan. A good place to start is https://www.servsafe.com/ to get information about safe handling of food and cleaning your kitchen. In South Dakota, we don’t have a requirement to be inspected as a non-profit church kitchen, but we choose to do it so we know that we are doing things safely. We order from a food service and get weekly deliveries, as well as do supplemental shopping at the local grocery stores and Sam’s Club. Since you only serve 30 people so far, a food service is probably not the way to go yet. You say your budget is $50 for 30 people, which only gives you $1.60 per person. Our average cost per person for a meal is $3.60-4.00, which includes a main dish, salad bar, sometimes a side dish and bread, and dessert. The cheapest meals we make are spaghetti with meatsauce or meatballs, salad, garlic toast, dessert; taco bar with soft and hard shell tacos, nachos and cheese and dessert; sloppy joes with chips or fries, salad, dessert; and meatloaf, vegetables, mashed potatoes, rolls, dessert. Let me know what other questions I can help you with. The key is having dedicated volunteers who show up to cook every week. We usually do prep on Tuesday mornings from 9:30-12, then Tuesdays from 1pm through dinner time. Good luck! Karen
