How many quarts of chili do you need to feed 20 people?

Answer 1

Well when I make it for birthdays I feed approx. 15 people ( with big appetites) and I use a large crock pot to make mine. I usually use around 10 pounds of meat. But depends on if you like alot of meat in your chili or not. So if I were to make it I would you at least 15 lbs. I would rather make too much then not to have enough. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

If the chili is REALLY good then plan for 10 quarts. If the people are small, like children, probably 5 quarts would do it. So, anywhere in between depending upon your Demographics, and of course, how hungry everyone is.

Answer 3

250 bowls! -Unless it's REALLY DELICIOUS GOOD chili & lots of people want seconds... then allow for 25% more than that. That would be approximately 20 -25 Gallons (U.S.), figuring 10 bowls per gallon. And don't forget the grated Cheddar Cheese & diced onions! -I even like diced Bell Peppers as a garnish for the chili.

Answer 4

Depends on how hungry they are. Most people will eat of bowl (about 10 ounces) others will whan more (16 to 20 ounces). Lets just say a serving is 14 ounces, times 20 people = 280 ounces. A cup is 8 ounces so one will need at least 35 cups of Chili.

Answer 5

It depends how much chili they eat. For example, if 5 people eat 3 chilies, and 15 eat 10 and the others only eat one, you will have to feed 180 chilies.

Answer 6

Yes, it will.
