We are planning on serving 75 people at a fidhing derby. We want to make New England Pot Roast. We are going to cook thses in crock pots and are unsure of the amount of meat, potatoes, carots and onoins to cook.

Have good bread. Have good bread and consider a side dish with beans such as my deacons' beans or baked beans- 6 pounds dry to start. Some New England recipes also have cabbage or celery- about 10-12 pounds.

There is a great beef base called better than bouillon beef base, it cost about $7 a jar and two jars would add immensely to the quality of the gravy.

If you use cabbage, it only goes in the last hour.

Bottom round is also a good choice.
