Any good ideas for a fundraising supper?

Question

We have a meal every Tuesday night at our Eagles... proceeds go to the kids party fund or the women's auxiliary. We sometimes have burgers and hot dogs, bbq on a bun, soup, chili, spaghetti...etc. Trying to think of something different, yet easy and not too expensive. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Stir Fry always goes well

Answer 2

I would say natchos with all the toppings or tacos with all the toppings.  Since, you can put everything in a crock pot (brown the meat first in oven).  I dont think that would be that expensive.   Good Luck

Answer 3

Call it a nacho salad supper.Chips,ground meat,beans,and all sort of salad fixings.It is easy and cheap.That way you can ask different ones to donate.Just make sure everyone brings something different.Salad goes a long ways...

Answer 4

How about a baked potato buffet?  You could provide all kinds of toppings - cheese, broccoli, bacon bits, etc.

Or breakfast for dinner?  Pancakes, home made waffles, fruit, sausage.

Or a chili cook off. Have members bring in crock pots full of their best recipe and folks can vote for their favorite chili - - with pennies. Proceeds go to the kids party fund, etc.

How about sub sandwiches?

Hope these ideas help!

Answer 5

I just tried a bacon-wrapped chicken gorgonzola recipe that was surprisingly easy, and when paired with a simple greens salad and bread it was fairly inexpensive.  If you don't like gorgonzola you can experiment and make a spinach ricotta filling to make it a bacon-wrapped florentine chicken.

Other inexpensive and easy ideas, Chicken Parmigiana is another one.  Just take boneless chicken breast, dredge in an egg/olive oil mixture then batter with seasoned bread crumbs.  Bake and top with marinara sauce and cheese.  Serve alongside spaghetti and salad.

I've also tried a Chicken and Sausage Cassoulet recipe and Beef Goulash with egg noodles.  Both were easy to prepare and very tasty as well as inexpensive.

Answer 6

You could have dishes of ground beef, tomatoes, cheese, onions, olives, sour cream, avocado, salsas and let people make their own tacos ......  or have flour tortillas and add a few more ingredients and they could make their own burritos (like at Chipolte's restaurant)  ......   When it gets warmer, you could have a giant salad bar, including chicken salad, ham salad, egg salad, along with the makings for green salads....

Answer 7

Sloppy joes, salad.
