08/08/04 		recipe and quantities for swedish meatballs for 50
We are trying to settle an argument as to how many meatballs we would need for a party of 50 people. They ask for ten pounds of meatballs. Now the can of mushroom sauce weighs three and a half pounds. Do you include that weight factor into the 10 lbs. or is that on top of the weight of the meatballs?

12/08/04 		As mentioned in the first letter above, it is NOT SAFE to refreeze the meatballs once they are thawed until they are cooked to a temp above 160 cegrees. So you could cook them in a tomato sauce and then freeze, but do not refreeze without cooking. Sorry for the bad news.
