i woudl suggest burritos/tacos maybe even enchiladas - just make up a heap of taco mince and have salad there, enchiladas (chicken) as extra/different food. maybe some garlic bread

we've done this when we've fed up to 15 people for less than $50 - though salad from garden has saved a lot. taco shells,burrito wraps aren't too exxy, taco packet mix is only about a dollar, cook up a kilo of mince or something. make up a packet of enchiladas as well if you want something other than just mince


either that, or if you want something completely different, go a roast - you can get a couple of lamb roasts for less than $30, vegies are cheap as. do baked spud, pumpkin, sweet potato, carrot, cauli/broccolli in white sauce - we have done this for about 12 people and just made more veg so that the meat goes further. if you can't get roast cheap (think coles is cheap at the mo) you could do a lamb and a beef. if you're not big on doing individual veg (space/time) do a combined vegie back - stir fry veg in light garlic butter, make white sauec, cover veg, bake - easy peasy!
