So DS1's birthday party is tomorrow and I still don't know what's for lunch. In the past we've done hot dogs or pizza, because there's usually about 15 people. (Adults, all family).
Anybody have any other good ideas for food that won't break the bank? I thought about a taco bar but hamburger meat is $$.
I'm a big fan of different cold cuts with different cheeses and different breads with toppings like lettuce, slices of tomatoes, red onion rings, pickles. Easy and cheap to pick everything up at Costco...then get a bunch of fruit to cut up and a few bags of chips! Walla...easy party food!

I second a baked pasta. Also, check out ground turkey if you want to do tacos (or add meat to your pasta). I find that it can be cheaper than beef and if you're spicing it up it's a pretty good substitute.

I was going to suggest turkey meat as well. I always use it instead of beef and it's usually much cheaper!
@ILoveBoys - go to Costco and get the $5 roasted chicken. You can pull the meat off and make a chicken taco bar instead of beef. It's already cooked (so less work) and it's cheap!

Also I've eaten those little ham and cheese sliders, and they're good.
