pulled pork, about 10 pounds ready to serve, which takes about 11 pounds raw boneless. I like shoulder for this. 50 buns or 8 dozen slider buns.
sausage and peppers, 10 pounds sausage, equal veggies

baked ziti, 5 pounds dry pasta, maybe some left
potato salad, 7 quarts (about 18 pounds raw potatoes)

green salad, use plan for 100, do 1/2
cole slaw, 1 1/2 gallons

cheese 5 pounds
crackers 3 pounds

By the way, if this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a dime or quarter per guest, to support the site. Thanks.
