A big casserolle full of veges and your meat, cook it slow and long if its stewing meat, you dont have to go to too much expensive just onions carrots and potatoes and flavour it with beef stock or red wine if you have it, serve in soup type bowls/dishes andhave nice warm crusty bread with it.

Beef & Red Wine Casserole. Curried Beef Hotpot. Shepherds Pie. Beef Stroganoff depending on type of stewing meat. Anything with beef and mushrooms usually goes down a treat with a group of men. You can't go wrong.

I would go for the casserole- good, long slow cooking will give you a delicious tender meat. Add reasonably priced vegetables such as carrots, onion etc. Add good stock and seasoning, bay leaves and the like. Thicken half way through to make a rich gravy and serve with creamy mash and a green vegetable on the side if you wish such as cabbage which is reasonably cheap right now.

A big beef slow cooked casserole will be a hit. You could do a big chilli as well with rice, lots of beans in it with mince and lots of tomatoes which will bulk it up.

bek83 - poor you having to feed 30 males! ! ! Good luck with that! ! ! I'd defo go for a lovely beef stew as per the comments above or a beef curry. You can always serve the stew with rice if you don't fancy peeling all those spuds! Have fun! ! :)

the stew and some yummy mash... do you make bread. I love making bread dough in the bread maker then taking small pieces rolling in flour and putting in a cake ring tin, sprinkle with rock salt and rosemary, then bake. Looks very impressive. Pull apart bread already to go with the stew and mash!

If making a big casserole or stew, chop up some leeks - green parts included, and add those - they'll add flavour and increase the quantity too. .

how about a bit of damper bread to soak up the gravey flavour its a tummy filler as well, rice base could work as well blokes are about quantity more to feel full lots of carrots in casserlole as well and spinach just merges with it as well

beef curry and rice - great way to use up the stewing meat. Most men I know love a good curry. Doesn't have to be hot and curry goes well with beer.

Even just a stew with rice (or make a stew and add some curry powder LOL)

Probably done and dusted by now but by adding cooked red beans to the stew and some chilli you create a sort of chilli con carne. (I say sort of, because real ccc doesn't really have much else but beans, meat, garlic, chilli and onions It will also help to make the meat go further.

Authentic Texas chilli con carne has a handful of red dirt thrown into it too :)
