Chop up a whole oven dish of veggies to slightly larger than bite size, drizzle with oil, sea salt and mixed herbs and roast.Potatoes, Kumara, Pumpkin, beetroot (keep this slightly to one side so it doesn't bleed over other vegies), parsnip, swede, carrots, capsicum (add this a little later).

Roasting pan of pasta bake with cooked pasta, a cheesy mushroom and leek sauce, shredded cooked chicken, mushrooms, leek, broccoli, some bacon and anything else that seemed a good idea at the time.Topped with buttered, herbed, crumbs and baked until golden.

I used to do a cheap sausage meat pie for shearers which was popular.
Buy tubes of sausage meat, make up into a tasty mix with whatever you like. (Suggest onion, garlic, tomato sauce, various fresh herbs - I even used wilted, chopped spinach etc)
Place pastry in dish - layer seasoned sausage meat,then sliced tomatoes, then lightly whisked, barely broken yolked, uncooked eggs, slice some yesterdays potato on top of that,and then put a pastry top on. Bake in usual manner.
I found this was a cheap and cheerful way to feed hungry men....everyone loved it.

What about a sausage casserole poured into a roasting dish and topped with mashed potato? I like to make curried sausages (with chicken stock not beef stock), add mixed veges then top with mashed potato and cheese. Bake until golden.

If you search 'fried rice', 'anytime' there are some ideas catering for bulk that may be handy for you. On page 1 there are some good ideas under 'feeding 60 after rugby'. Ages ago someone posted a recipe for fried rice which was cooked in a foil covered roasting dish in the oven. A friend of mine tried it and said it was really good and made a heap. Someone may well be able to post the recipe for you as I can't seem to locate it using the search function. My friend is away but I will ask her about it when she is back. Good luck with all those ravenous beings. Cheers.

gardie's recipe with wedges of onion, sprinkle with smoked paprika and chopped fresh rosemary. Works equally well when all you have in the pantry is potatoes.
I joked I could make this blindfolded when my son was at high school and all his mates would invade the place. I worked on the theory that if you were here at meal time then you'd be fed. No matter how large the pan I cooked, there was never any left over.
The bonus is that it suited diabetic and gluten free diets so that removed a lot of allergy worries that spontaneous meals can generate.

Is this the one. I saved but am yet to use. Perhaps it is the "dicked" ham that puts me off!!
Sori I'm back Oven Fried Rice. Serves 15 (but we are big eaters and theres 5 of us, and we eat it all) Ingredients: 3 cups uncooked rice (I always use Uncle Ben's in orange pkt, but the lady at tuckshop doesnt), 3 tbsp oil, 1 tsp crushed garlic, 3 cups mixed vegetables diced (I just use frozen), 1.5 cups ham dicked, 3 tbsp stock powder, 1.25 litres water, half cup shallots chopped finely, soya sauce, and I always put a dollop of oyster sauce in too. tahnasha (3)5:16 pm, 8 Jun
10.Method In a deep baking disk combine oils, garlic and rice, stirring well to coat rice. (This is the secret, make sure every bit of rice is coated in oil). Add ham, vegetables and stock powder and stir well. Add water, soya sauce and oyster sauce, stir in well, cover with foil. Bake at 200 deg for around 40 mins, until all water is absorbed. When rice is cooked and no water left, stir through with the spoon to fluff up.
