How many pounds of beef needed to serve 6 people pot roast?

Answer 1

A serving of beef is about 4 ounces per person. Therefore, 1 and a half pounds of pot roast would allow each person to have one serving. 2-3 pounds would allow for people eating more than one serving of meat.

Answer 2

About 15. Think about how a "quarter-pounder" in the burger family might make a good portion for an adult meal, then consider these questions: Are most of the 60 'big eaters'? Might most want seconds? Do you want to have some leftovers? Then go up to 18 or 20 pounds. Are quite a few of the 60 children or younger ones? Could many be elderly or on restricted diets? Then go down to 11 or 13 pounds. In such situations, we use the FHB rule -- Family Hold Back -- until we see how things are working out. :)
