Hello- I'm looking for help with planning amounts for sides on a 300 person buffet. I have used your chart to calculate these but could you please let me know your thoughts? Thanks so much for the help!
Sides: Pasta Salad- 80lbs (1/2 cup each) Cheesy Potatoes- 80lbs (1/2 cup each)
Green Bean Casserole- not sure on pounds but I think it would take about 100 cans of green beans for this recipe Butter- 500 individual butters BBQ sauce for meat- 3 gallons |

OK. The salad is a bit dull, I would opt for cherry or grape tomatoes instead of cheese, especially with the cheesy potatoes and the casserole green beans. Amount is OK, no leftovers. Pasta Salad- 80lbs (1/2 cup each)- OK Cheesy Potatoes- 80lbs (1/2 cup each)- I always make 120 servings for these potatoes for 100- very popular Green Bean Casserole- not sure on pounds but I think it would take about 100 cans of green beans for this recipe- 5 #10 cans per 100 Rolls- 360 Depends on size, if small do two per person, you want 12-14 pounds per 100 Butter- 500 individual butters- about 8 pounds... BBQ sauce for meat- 3 gallons- 1/4 cup per person= at least 4 1/2 gallons |

See Ellen's Better Green Bean Casserole, in the top section of the Big Pots index page. Tasty, holds beautifully and much more interesting than average. Make 2 1/2 times the recipe for 150 people. |
