[quote=Anonymous]I often make mac and beef for something like this.

This makes one big crock pot of food.  If you have a smaller crock pot, decrease proportionally.  Make one pound al dente macaroni of choice (shells, rotini, penne, elbows, etc all work--we use whole wheat, but you can use regular).  Saute one medium chopped onion and minced garlic (to taste, I use about 3-4 cloves)  in some olive oil.  Add one pound ground meat of choice (sometimes ground turkey, sometimes ground beef and occasionally ground bison) and brown.  Put pasta, ground meat, basil and oregano, one 29 oz can of tomato sauce and one 12 oz can of tomato paste and 1-2 cups of grated parmesan or romano cheese into crock pot.  Stir and let cook together until warm.  If it gets dry, you can add a little water to loosen it up.

I have often made it up the night before and tossed it into a large tupperware.  On the day I need it, I  dump the tupperware into the crock pot about 2-4 hours before I need it and let it cook.

Works great for adults and children and easy to serve.[/quote]
