How many pounds of Italian beef to feed 20 people?

Answer 1

Well, you can estimate 1 serving of shredded beef to be about 1/4 pound (or 4 oz.) If you use that figure, you can get 80 servings from 20 pounds of shredded beef. But if you're planning a party, you should prepare extra, because many people will eat more than 4 oz.

Answer 2

It depends how much each person eats.

Answer 3

I would use 5 -6 pounds

Answer 4

about 7 pounds.

Answer 5

40 people or less depending on their appetites
