This will make 300 servings:
120 cups chopped lettuce
salt and pepper
120 hard-cooked eggs, sliced
10 quarts frozen peas, thawed
5-10 quarts chopped celery
10-20 pounds bacon, crisp-cooked, drained, and crumbled
10 pounds shredded mild Cheddar cheese
5 quarts mayonnaise
1 1/4 to to 2 cups sugar
5 cups sliced green onion with tops
paprika

From the bottom up:
lettuce
sliced eggs
peas
lettuce
bacon
cheese
Mayo mixed with sugar
green onion
paprika

The celery goes where ever you like, usually toward the bottom. Some folks also do a layer of bell pepper- I like red, orange, or yellow. Some use chopped tomatoes in a layer. Some use half and half mayo and ranch dressing.
