07/24/07 		how many pounds of beef roast and how many dozen eggs would it take to make enough beef and noodles to feed 250 people----will be using large electric roasters to cook the noodles in---how long will they need to be cooked---the noodle recipe,I believe is 3 eggs yolks and 1 whole egg per batch and they will be dried noodles thank you

07/24/07 		Per 100 people (two roasters), meat on the light side:
18 pounds beef cubes
9 pounds dried noodles (the kind that come in the dried bags) OR equivalent amount home made noodles
9 quarts beef gravy
onions peppers tomatoes, etc and seasonings per your recipe

You do not say how many pounds of noodles your recipe makes...

We have purchased 200#'s of beef roast and will be cooking 12#'s of roast per roaster. Your help with determining the number of pounds needed for each entree and any recipe suggestions would be helpful.

This 125 pounds of meat will probably be fine- the roast beef and gravy will take the most per serving because it is slices, using about double either of the other per person. So if you want equal number sof plates, you would use a scant 1/4 for the beef and noodles, the second 1/4 for BBQ beef, and the half for roast beef. I have no idea how your crowd would split- it depends on local custom, weather, time of day, cost of the different plates, etc.

Bef tips, you want 5 ounces cooked ready to eat per person, allowing for shrinkage while cooking that is 2 pounds for each 5 persons, or about 40 pounds per 100 people.
