How many pounds of ground beef to make up barbeques for 125 people?

Question

Will be maybe 100 men and 25 women, they will be outdoors a lot then will come inside for lunch. also serving baked beans and either potato salad or coleslaw.

Answer 1

Do you mean that you will be cooking burgers for everyone on the

b-b-q? In that case I would say 1/3 pound per person. It makes a decent burger. So about 40-42 pds. Also grab a pkg or 2 of hot dogs as some people may prefer dogs over burgers.

Also have about 40 tomatoes sliced, 30-35 onions sliced, and a big jar of pickles? Are you going to do cheese as well? Figure for about 100 slices of cheese as not everyone will want cheese.

You could also grill some of the onions if you so desire cuz there's nothing like grilled onions on a b-b-q'ed burgers.

Answer 2

ground beef ain't bbq thats a sloppy joe any way  bout 40lbs ouhgt to cover it

Answer 3

50 to 60 pounds. Figure the men might eat a half pound each, or two quarter pound burgers.

Answer 4

You cant make real barbq with hamburger, need to cook a pork shoulder or butt

Answer 5

Depends on what you're cooking .... burgers (if you make your own) or chilli..... generally I would say calculate roughly a quarter pound of meat per person ....when you cook it up you will no doubt add things to the cooking that will turn the meat into a meal and not everyone will eat the meat - some may eat more than others ...:)
