How many servings would this recipe make?

Question

I was just wondering how many servings this recipe would make. I'm cooking for 5 people, and I'm not sure if this will be enough. What sort of alterations should I make so that it can serve us all ?

Tuna Mushroom Casserole-

Ingredients

2 cups pasta, bow tie preferred

2 (6 oz) cans of tuna, liquid removed

2 (4.5 oz) cans of mushrooms, liquid removed

1 (10.75 oz) can of condensed Cream of Mushroom soup

1 cup bread crumbs (dry)

3 tbsp butter, melted

1 1/3 cups milk

2 tsp of crushed, dried thyme

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

Answer 1

Well, if you look on the tuna can, it will tell you how many servings it has.  I think the 6oz can is about 3 servings.  So, your casserole will probably feed at least 4.  I would double the recipe to be safe. You can always use any leftovers for lunch during the week.

Answer 2

If they are big eaters.. or that is all you are serving for dinner.. i would double it... if your serving other things.. like a salad and some bread  maybe.. it may be enough as is.

i may even increase the pasta a little more than double.. like 5 cups... but most people that come to my house have big appetites.

also maybe not quite double on the thyme.... to me its a strong spice

Answer 3

for 5 people I would add another cup of bow ties... nothing else would need to change, except maybe add another tablespoon of butter. better to have too much than too little.

Answer 4

It will if you serve a side of salad with it and some rolls.

Answer 5

hope you are serving more than this for 5 people. unless they aren't very hungry. would only be 3/4 cup approx per person. you could always make 2 recipes of this and if you have extra would be better than not having enough

Answer 6

i have a receipe called hearty chicken & noodle casserole from cambell's soup. it has virtually the same ingredients and it says 4 servings.
