How much gr. beef to make sloppy joes for 50 people?


Recommended Posts

Wow, what a cooking project! When I buy a leaner ground beef, I can get 5 pretty well-filled sloppy joe burgers So I would find a good meat sale and get 10 pounds. You might consider stretching it even further with a bit of grated potato, ground up beans, or some oats.

Well if they eat about 1/4 a pound of meat on the sloppy joe then 1/4 pound times 50. And it depends on the people.

 

edited to add: You might want to add a little more if you assume some will eat more than one.

 

I was thinking the same thing. About 1/4 pound/person with a bit extra for good measure, so 15 pounds.

 

This is assuming it's a mix of adults and children, and not all adults.

Thank you all! My husband leads a youth ministry at church and we (by that I mean *I*) are making sloppy joes this month. Last month was Pizza. We're only offering one sandwich at a time and will have potato chips. 50 is an overestimation.
