It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

ingredients
20 pounds red potatoes, peeled
8 pounds fully cooked ham, cubed
4 cans (10.75 ounce size) condensed cream of celery soup, undiluted
2 quarts milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
6 pounds processed American cheese, cubed
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons paprika
directions
Peel potatoes if desired; cut into cubes. Cook potatoes until tender; cool. Place about 6 cups of potatoes each in eight greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pans. Add about 3-1/2 cups of cubed ham to each pan.
In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, combine soup, milk and flour until smooth; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, or until thickened. Add cheese, pepper and paprika. Reduce heat and cook until cheese is melted.
Pour about 2-1/4 cups of sauce into each pan. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake 5-10 minutes longer or until bubbly.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

I got 120 servings out of this but I am sure that varies by what is considered a serving size. Everyone enjoyed it and it was nice to have instructions on how to make a big batch of it!
Hi, just a heads up: this recipe makes 8 9x13 pans, and only serves about 80 adult people as an entree or 100 lightly as a side dish. Much improved IMO by the addition of a cup of fresh parsley, chopped and a couple of cups of finely diced sauteed onions.
