    A & W Coney Island Sauce


    2 small onions, finely chopped
    5 lbs. hamburger
    64 ounces Hunt's tomato Paste
    64 ounces Hunt's Tomato Puree
    1 1/2 c. sugar
    1/3 c. cider vinegar
    2 T. chili powder
    1 T. pepper
    1 T. celery seed
    3 T. plus
    1 t. salt

    Brown hamburger and onions in a very large skillet, drain. Add the rest of the ingredients
    and simmer for 3 1/2 hours. Stir frequently as it will tend to stick. This freezes very well.
    To get that authenic taste, use only Kogel franks and rehydrated dry minced onions in boiling water.
    Not certain how many this will serve, will depend on the serving size.
    It would yield approx. 50 3 oz. servings but I'm not certain that amount is adequate,
    increase recipe as needed.



    A smaller and weirder recipe:

    Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce (Chili)

    2 Lbs. Ground Beef
    2 Packages Onion Soup Mix (1 Box)
    2 Cups Black Coffee
    1 - 6 oz can Tomato Paste
    1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
    1 Teaspoon Cumin Powder
    1 Teaspoon Allspice
    1/4 cup Vinegar
    1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
    3 Tablespoons Sugar

    Brown Ground Beef in a skillet and chop up real fine into individual granules.
    In a separate large saucepan - mix 2 cups of black coffee with all the other ingredients
    and cook over medium heat until boiling. Reduce to simmer and cook about 2 hours
    but you can do it just long enough to saturate the dehydrated onions in the soup mix if
    you wish. Add the Ground beef when it has finished browning.

    All about Baked Potatoes!

    Baked Potatoes for a Crowd


    50 large russet baking potatoes
    2 c. extra virgin olive oil
    3 Tbsp. salt
    4 tsp. white pepper

    Toppings
    4 - 5 lb. sour cream
    1 lb. bacon bits
    2 lb. butter
    4-5 bunches of green onions, finely chopped
    2 lb. grated sharp cheddar cheese

    If you are having a baked potato bar more toppings can be added accordingly.


    Scrub the potatoes with a wire brush to remove all dirt and rough patches of the skin.
    Use a fork to poke holes into the potatoes (minimum 8 per potato) but don't do this ahead of time, or the potatoes will be full of brown marks from oxidation.
    In a shallow bowl whisk oil and seasonings, roll the potatoes in the oil then tightly wrap the potatoes in a 12 inch foil square (SEE SAFETY NOTE BELOW)
    Preheat oven to 400F, loosely arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet (insure that none are touching) and bake the potatoes for 30 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven and use tongs to turn the potatoes, return to oven and continue to bake for an additional 30 minutes. Check the potatoes for doneness with a toothpick. The potatoes should be tender through to the center.

    MAKE AHEAD METHOD
    If you are cooking for many people and can't fit all of the potatoes in the oven at one
    time try this. Preheat the oven to it's highest setting (minimum 500F), bake the
    potatoes in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove the potatoes and place immediately in
    plastic insulated ice chest. Bake the next batch and when done add to the first batch.
    The potatoes are not completely cooked when they are removed from the oven, they
    require a minimum of 45 minutes in the ice chest to finish cooking. The potatoes can
    be kept in the chest for up to six hours unopened!

    NOTES: The cooler doesn't know if it is to keep food hot or cold. Potatoes will stay hot for
    hours! Great to serve volunteers and officials at "hospitality" at swim meets.
    We serve with chili, onions, sour cream, shredded cheese, (anything that you can
    think of will work!). This will cover meat and non-meat eaters!
    Salad with a large choice of dressings will complete this meal.

    I am doing baked potatoes for 140 on Wednesday and am trying to decide whether to wrap them in foil or not. Why wrap or why not? I was thinking we would not since we do not need to keep them hot - they can be served immediately. Also can I keep them hot in electric roasters for 20 minutes or so while we bake the rolls? Or is this the reason to wrap them - would they stay hot that long in bowls wrapped.

    While your potatoes are baking, fill a cooler with hot water, when you are about to take your potatoes out, empty the water and dry out the cooler. Load the potatoes into the pre heated cooler. Your potatoes will stay hot for a long time.



    there is no need to wrap your potatoes. Some people feel that wrapping actually steams the potatoes instead of baking them. They will stay hot for quite some time, especially if you put them in your cookers.

    I would not wrap potatoes in foil, if held too long, you run the risk of breeding botulism.

    SAFETY NOTE: It's not recommended that the potatoes be wrapping in foil. This moist area between the outside of the potato and the foil can be a breeding ground for bacteria.

    Half Baked Potatoes for 50
    half a potato per serving


    25 large Baking potatoes, (80-count) (15 pounds, 8 ounces)

    Cornbread Dressing for 75


    Cornbread:
    1 1/2 lb. flour
    2 Tbsp. salt
    1/2 c. baking powder
    2 lb. cornmeal
    6 eggs
    2 qt. milk
    3/4 c. margarine, melted

    Dressing:
    1 1/2 lb. onion, chopped
    1 1/2 lb. celery, chopped
    1 c. snipped fresh parsley
    1/2 lb. margarine
    1 gal. chicken or turkey stock
    1 1/2 Tbsp. poultry seasoning
    12 eggs, beaten light and fluffy
    3 loaves of white bread

    Cornbread: Sift all dry ingredients together. Beat liquid ingredients together.
    Pour liquid all at once into dry blend. Mix quickly together, stirring only enough
    to mix. Pour into preheated pans with bacon drippings (about 2 table-
    spoons) added for extra flavor and crispiness. Use small, deep
    pans for "cake type" texture. Use larger pans for a thinner,
    crusty bread. Make this the day before you need it for dressing.

    White bread: Cut 3 (1 pound) loaves white bread (day
    old or more) into 1/2 to 3/4 inch cubes. (Cut off crusts and
    save for other uses.) Store in very loosely tied sacks overnight.

    Dressing: In large container, combine bread cubes with
    finely crumbled cornbread. Add poultry seasoning to breads;
    mix well. Sauté onions and celery in oleo until clear, but not
    brown. Beat eggs and pour over breads; add vegetables. Heat
    stock and add (start with half) a little at a time until
    mixture is very moist, but not runny. Mix lightly so it will
    not pack and spoon into four 9 x 13 x 2 inch baking pans. Cook
    for 20 to 25 minutes at 425 degrees for metal pans (400 degrees for Pyrex).
    Watch last 10 to 12 minutes so that temperature may be lowered
    if it is crusting too much around edges and still too moist in
    center. All ovens vary. Empty dressing into roaster oven
    preset on 150 degrees to hold for serving.
    Makes 1/2 electric roaster full. Makes 75 servings.
