Notes from last year are we made 7 nescos of chili. I think there were 80 hot dogs with buns. All the hot dogs sold but for just a few. Chili, we ended up with much left over – 3 nescos? I brought containers to sell of or give away the rest.
Will need to watch the attends for the count and base the guess on how much chili from there.
Always the hard question.
I “think” that having the hot dogs takes away from chili sales, but it doesn’t matter too much. Just keep it in mind when figuring a number.
Depending on weather, I would guess there will be a similar turnout. Make 4 with one “hot spare”?Anyone want to write up the new blurb for the website’s front page?

Becca and Renne? Are you making the chili? Is it 4 Nescos worth?
When I was thinking I’d make the chili that was before I found out about our trip to Nebraska the weekend before for a wedding. If necessary I can cook up the meat, but it won’t be easy for me. Would anyone else be able to help with this? If not, I’ll do it.

Still offering to help.
Let’s not forget the Winter Event Commitee. Do we need to only brown the meat before hand? I can do whatever.
Brown up the meat, keep it warm in crock pot until we get there and then dump into the Nescos, add the watery parts, simmer for an hour or so- Bam, instant Chili.

Last year, I browned up all the meat with onion and froze in 10 pound packages. Easy to assemble it that way early the morning of. Just needs to simmer with the rest of the ingredients.
If someone else will brown the meat and onions, I will shop for the other ingredients. Now….do I have to buy noodles?!

Easy answer! Just use the ol’ noodle! 😉

Just to correct myself, I froze in 5 pound packs, the browned meat and oinions. One package per nesco.
I did a rough count and have about 90 people saying they “Will Attend”
