The serving size for most side dishes is usually one half cup (4 ounces). But depending on the rest of the meal, the event (such as a family reunion, BBQ), etc., it may be best to go with three fourths cup (6 ounces). And since a gallon is 128 ounces, you would get just over 21 servings per gallon. So I would suggest at least seven and a half (7.5) gallons, which will give you 150 servings of 6 and 3/8 ounces each. But to play it safe, you may want to go with a full eight (8) gallons.
The serving size for baked beans depends on whether the beans are the major source of nutrition in the dish, or whether it is served with rice, potatoes or other source of starch or carbohydrate. On it's own, 8oz would be considered a serving size, so 240oz, or a little less than 2 gallons, would serve 30 people.
To determine how many baked beans you need for 100 people, you first need to establish the serving size per person. Let's assume a standard serving size is half a cup of baked beans. To calculate the total amount needed, you would multiply the serving size by the number of people (100) and then convert the result to the appropriate unit (cups, pounds, etc.) based on your recipe or preference. So, for 100 people, you would need approximately 50 cups of baked beans.
As part of a meal one 17 ozs can will feed 2 people so you need 100 cans.
To serve baked beans for 300 people, a general guideline is to allocate about 4 to 6 ounces per person as a side dish. Therefore, for 300 people, you would need approximately 1,200 to 1,800 ounces of baked beans. This translates to 75 to 112.5 pounds, depending on the serving size. Adjustments may be necessary based on the overall menu and the appetites of your guests.
Ten gallons of beans will be needed to feed 300 people. It is estimated that one gallon will serve 30 to 35 people.
Depends on how hungry the first person being served at the table is. Maybe though 4 people if other dishes are served with it.
It depends on the occasion. You could serve a simple meal with meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans, bread, and a dessert. Or, you could serve picnic foods like cold cuts, potato salad, slaw, baked beans, and a bread for a summer picnic. The possibilities are endless.
7 1/2 gallons
To serve refried beans for 150 people, you typically need about 1/4 to 1/3 cup per person as a side dish. This means you'll require approximately 37 to 50 cups of refried beans in total. Since there are 16 cups in a gallon, this translates to about 2.3 to 3.1 gallons of refried beans. Consider rounding up to ensure everyone is well-served, so preparing around 3 gallons would be a safe estimate.
about 25 gallons
Usually, people serve them and they eat rice and beans.
The number of people that 40 gallons of chili can serve depends on the serving size. Typically, a serving of chili is about 1 cup, which is roughly 8 ounces. Since there are 128 ounces in a gallon, 40 gallons equals 5,120 ounces. Therefore, if each person receives a cup (8 ounces), 40 gallons of chili can serve approximately 640 people.
