That probably depends a lot on the appetite of your eaters, but as a side dish about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of dry macaroni per person should do nicely with an entree and a vegetable. You can always adjust this amount accordingly for large appetites or light eaters, but if you end up with leftovers, they are easy to make into a cold or hot salad for lunch the next day. (Sometimes, I purposely make more macaroni than I need just to have some leftover for this purpose.) Just add some finely chopped green onion, leftover chicken or light water-packed tuna, a little parmesan cheese, and some fresh ground black pepper for a very quick and tasty meal. (If you use tuna, you won't need to add any salt; the tuna and the parmesan cheese have plenty.) Finely chopped celery or leftover broccoli bits make nice additions, too. If the salad turns out too dry for your tastes or it just needs a little 'zing', then add a touch of your favorite Italian dressing, or splashes of apple cider vinegar and a good quality olive oil. For a more creamy taste and texture, a little mayonnaise makes a nice substitution for the Italian dressing.
If you're creating a casserole or main dish from the macaroni, then I would still use about 1/4 to 1/3 cup dry per person. You can always compare this amount to similar recipes in your cookbooks or to recipes online. For example, if I found a casserole in a cookbook with similar construction and ingredients (same portion of meat and cheeses for example) that called for 2 cups dry macaroni and served 6, then I would use about the same amount in my casserole.
It depends on how much you want, but 2oz is a 1/2 cup.
For 200 people, you'd need around 3 gallons of macaroni salad.
It is about $1.50 per 100g at the local Sobeys store in Calgary, Alberta.
The standard serving size is 1 cup (of salad) per person, meaning you'd need 75 cups of macaroni salad, which is about 2 ounces of uncooked macaroni per person. This means a 16 ounce package of macaroni can feed about 8 people, meaning you would need 9 boxes. Of course, this is based on if EVERY person ate it, and EVERY person ate 1 cup of the salad. But, keep in mind, if this is on a buffet (where people dip their own), some people will eat a lot more than 1 cup, some will eat a lot less than 1 cup, and others won't eat ANY--making it balance out.
This would depend on how large the bowl is and how much salad is being made.
Depending on where you shop, and what type of macaroni you buy; the cost of a pound of macaroni is anywhere from a dollar (US) to only a few dollars ($3 to $5). It should not cost more than a few dollars, macaroni normally does not cost that much at a grocery store.
yes i do know because i had to make this much one time you can get exactly 24 servings out og one gallon
If you look on the back of the box thire should be a food label and the sugar is measured in grams
I would make 125 pounds of salad.
Depends on the people. If teenagers, about a package each
You would need about 1/4 a pound of chicken salad per person. That will be 17.5 pounds of chicken salad for 70 people.
5 pounds of macaroni should be enough to feed 20 people. Depending on appetite each pound can feed between 4 and 5 people.
That depends very much on someone's tastes, but a simple sandwich, a quick salad, a bowl of soup, or some noodles can be easy to prepare and quick to eat.
