MACARONI AND CHEESE FOR 100

*NOTE* I'll add a pic of this when I get home from Summer camp next week.

MACARONI AND CHEESE FOR 100

8 lbs of pasta - macaroni, penne, rotini, (whatever your favorite is)
2 sticks butter
16 Tblsp flour
1 Gallon milk
2 bricks Velveeta processed cheese, cut into small chunks
2 lbs shredded cheddar cheese, divided in half

Preheat oven to 375. Cook pasta Al dente, and drain. Pour pasta into a large steamer pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Drizzle lightly with oil or melted butter, and stir to prevent the noodles clumping together.
In a large stock pot, melt the 2 sticks of butter. Add in the flour and stir until the butter and flour are combined. Pour in milk and heat until slightly thickened. Remove from heat, and drop in the Velveeta cheese chunks. Stir until the cheese is mostly melted and combined with the hot milk. Pour over cooked pasta and stir to combine. Stir in 1 lb of the shredded cheddar. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes, or until bubbly. Top with remaining 1 lb of shredded cheddar cheese and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

HOT AND COLD CANTEEN ITEMS

I also purchase all the needed items for the hot and cold canteen. I get most of this from Sam's club. We have an entire cart usually, just for the pop and candy! We look like a bunch of sugar addicts pulling all the junk around the store!

MY CAMP SHOPPING LIST FOR 100

I usually always purchase enough to feed 100 at each meal. This list is what is required to feed 100. Even if we don't have 100 campers, it allows for seconds for the kids - and boy do they ever know how to eat! If you have done similar projects (camp cook) and would like to share your ideas with me, or if you are using my list as reference and need more specific information, feel free to leave me a comment and I'll write you back. Like I said, I've done this for 13 years now and have learned a LOT along the way. Things to do and things to NEVER do again! All of my fresh fruit and veggies, I purchase at our local produce market here in our town. That way I know where it came from. For the canned fruit and veggies, I mean the big #10 cans.

The list starts with coffee because a lot of our workers are big coffee drinkers. And it's important to keep the workers happy! LOL

Welcome to the Summer Camp page!

Our Summer camp is always the last full week of July. So we are on the schedule for July 21 - 25 this year (2008). We do our own camp, and have for the last 13 years. I am just getting ready to start formulating our week of menus. Shortly I will be adding those, along with amounts I purchase, and other things that may be helpful to you if you desire to host your own Summer camp for your church.
