Need ideas for cooking for a group of 8 adults

[Danni]

Ok anyone got any "budget" ideas for cooking for such a big group? Doesnt have to be gourmet...but not bangers and mash

Hoping to spend under $50! Is it possible? And we can't do bolognese as thats what we did last time.

Pastitsio! I'll come back and post my recipe, it is sooooooooo yum, and definitely budget! Just offer a salad and bread, and you're done!

What about a roast? With gravy & roast vegies. Or something slow cooked, if you have a slow cooker big enough, could use chicken drumsticks or another cheap cut of meat.

curry!!
green chicken curry with rice or rogan josh....always a hit

Patstitsio?? what the?? Would love the recipe as I've never heard of it!!!!

I have a 6litre slow cooker but that normally only feeds 4 adults...

a big curry sounds like a hit with a big thing of rice?

Sorry D, forgot about this hun! It's a pasta dish, but oh-so-yummy, and you can do a fair bit of it ahead of time Will come back when DS is asleep and post the recipe.
