How many pounds of sliced roast beef will be needed to serve 60 sandwiches?

Answer 1

Okay, I've cooked for large crowds. Here's the trick. It applies across the board &, since I havent cooked meat for large crowds, you are gonna have to supply the first answer. I will supply the equation that gets you to yr answer.

1/ How much meat do you need for one hamburger? I actually really don't this answer. I suppose that you do, but if you don't, there are plenty of cooking websites that will tell you. here are two that might be helpful:

&

2/ Once you decide on yr recipe, it isn't that difficult to extrapolate from a recipe for six people to one for sixty. Pretty much you just multiply by ten [if yr recipe's for six] or by sixty [if yr recipe's for one]. Lemme tell you, tho, unless you wanna cook the same thing ten times over, you need bigpots.

3/ The only other concerns you might consider is whether you want to have extra for extra helpings &3b/ whether all sixty people are gonna wanna eat the Hamburgers. If you know in advance that there will be lots of people who, for one reason or another, are passing on meat, you can make less. If there are gonna be a lot of kids under the age of, say, eleven, you also might make less.

As in most cases, my guess is that in yrs if you take how much meat you need for one hamburger & then just multiply by sixty you will hit an appropriate amount for yr burger crowd. I'm not trying to be flippant, by the way. I am thinking that nobody really wants a whole lot of meat to sit around & have to be thrown away. Normally I would tell you to make a little less than you seem to need. Because of the way the economy has been, I wont do that now. I have seen with my own eyes that people are a lot hungrier than they were when jobs were plentiful. I have fed them with money I barely have & so I am also thinking that yr giant hamburger meal may very well be very very well appreciated.

Answer 2

Sixty times more than it takes to make one, or thirty times more than it takes to make two, or even twenty times more than it takes to make three. Alternatively, it would take twice as much as thirty. An easier way to calculate it would be to just have a couple of extra jars on hand, and see what happens.

Answer 3

I would allow 4-6 ounce of beef for each sandwich. This is considered a generous amount of bee and depends on your budget. Now 60 Sandwiches x 5 ounces = 300 ounces when divided by 16 = 18.75 pounds. Remember you can use less meat which again depends on your budget.

I hope this helps
