Savory Sides Perfect for Catering Food Warmers

Catering Food warmers

Feeding a crowd. That task may sound daunting to some people, but for caterers, it's literally all in a day's work. That's because caterers specialize in filling their hot food warmers with plentiful side dishes. 

If you're in the market for some simple and delicious crowd-pleasers to add to your regular rotation, you've come to the right place.

We've put together a list of our favorites. 

Perfectly Savory Sides

First, consider this recipe for Savory Squash and Beans. Hearty and filling, it's also high in Vitamin A. Though the additions of bacon and cheese ensure that it's not exactly health food, the vegetable and bean combo provide a pleasing mix of nutrients and protein. 

Quick to make and just quirky enough to prove memorable, these Orange-Glazed Beets are a positive delight. Bold in color and flavor, they'll offset less robust dishes nicely and provide some heft to your menu.

For an easy home run, you can't go wrong with Mom's Macaroni and Cheese. Rich, buttery, and satisfying, this is the ultimate in comfort food. At most events, this dish empties out right away. Better make extra pans just in case!

Finally, if you find yourself in a time crunch, turn to this delightful Parmesan Zucchini Casserole. With a quick prep time (only five minutes!) and just over half an hour baking, you can get this one into your food warmers and be out the door in under a quarter of an hour. Whether you'll be able to keep yourself from over-sampling as you taste test the finished product it is another matter entirely.
