 | 6 large cans, 106 oz tomato sauce |
 | 38 pounds ground meat |
 | Italian Seasoning |
 | Oregano |
 | 1 jar Minced Garlic, 4.5 oz (located in produce section) |
 | Brown Sugar |
- Brown the Ground Beef
- This takes about 1/5 to 2 hours. (Easiest to brown the beef outdoors using
Wade's WOK/ LP burner.)
- Can be done 2 days before the event.
- Using 3 extra large stainless pots on low heat, stirring constantly.
- To each pot add;
- 2 cans spaghetti sauce
- 2 cans tomato sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Italian seasoning (cover the entire surface)
- 1/4 cup Oregano (cover half the surface)
- 1 heaping tablespoon of salt
- 1/3 of jar of garlic
- Continue stirring until warm
- Taste and adjust seasonings
- Remove enough of sauce from each pot to fill one of the deep /
half size warmer pans and set aside for mixing
with noodles later

- Continue to cook / stir until hot.
- Transfer to large pans in the warmer
- Set the warmer between 1 and 2, leave simmering all night.

Noodles, 300 servings (made the day of)
 | 20 each 2 lb packages of noodles |
After cooking noodles, store in a large pot of cool water that just covers
the surface of the noodles, then as needed transfer to warmer tray and add some
of the sauce that was held back to help warm them up for serving.
Owen's Note: I would suggest that the noodles be cooked
the day before, coated with a bit of olive oil or sauce to keep from sticking
and put in the fridge. Raise the sauce temperature so compensate for the
cold noodles. Actual results for number of servings for 2006 event was about 200
servings from 14 packages, package indicates 2 oz per serving, we served closer
to 2.5 oz per serving. 4 lbs per batch is good, the large colander at the
church holds the 4 pounds well, 6 pounds is too much for it. Removing the
noodles from the pot, putting in cold water for 5 minutes to stop the cooking
(water is hot again because of the noodles) then drain again.
