Hi Ellen, How much corn beef, potatoes,carrots, cabbage & beef broth should I order for this dinner that we are having on March 17th.? I am a member of the AMVETS Post 312 and I could use your help.
Thanks for getting back to me on this matter. |

Corn Beef & Cabbage for 150-175 This inquiry pops up every year around this time. For 175 people, assuming self serve,
corn beef, raw, 85 pounds
1 Tbsp whole allspice berries You can also use straight pickling spice, 3 tablespoons per gallon, with garlic and cardamon added. I cook the corned beef ahead ( usually bake it), take out, let cool, chill, up to 2 days before; cook the vegetables day of in the saved chilled broth, adding the cabbage only the last 20-30 minutes; meanwhile, slice and reheat the sliced beef tightly covered in the oven with some of the broth, about 30-45 minutes at preheated 350. Hope this helps. |
