Love,love your site! After days of reading and rereading here is my menu: Approx 130 guest at 5:30 pm Pulled pork (butt) 50-60 lbs Chicken (legs and wings) 25-30 lbs 2 roasters of Dolly Parton beans 6 gal 1 roaster of meatballs 12 lbs 1 roaster of green beans 3 gal 1 roaster of yams 3 gal Potato salad 5 gal Pasta salad 10 lbs dry pasta Coleslaw 4 gal Crockpot with cheese dip and tortilla chips..how many chips? Pin wheels 2/ person Veggie tray...will use guide for tray Fruit salad ( thinking of a recipe on Pinterest that uses fruit cocktail mixed with fresh or frozen fruit and vanilla pudding) not sure how much...? 2 rolls /person Cup cakes instead of wedding cake 200 Banana pudding purchasing from local restaurant 120 servings. The hardest part for me if figuring out how much will fit in a roaster oven....I know u have said only to fill 2/3 full...but how much is that? Thanks for having this site! |

Wedding reception, 130 people A roaster will hold 3 gallons of beans, etc, or about 20 pounds of meat; 50-60 servings. 2 roasters will blow most household circuits. So, be aware that wiring is a real problem with most roaster intensive dinners. Pulled pork (butt) 50-60 lbs 45 plenty Chicken (legs and wings) 25-30 lbs OK; legs only is more economical and they hold better, especially in sauce 2 roasters of Dolly Parton beans 6 gal- OK 1 roaster of meatballs 12 lbs- fine; cut back the pork and chicken a couple pounds each 1 roaster of green beans 3 gal- this is what I usually do for 100- you want to do at least 4 1 roaster of yams 3 gal- OK, all gone Potato salad 5 gal- OK Pasta salad 10 lbs dry pasta- 8 enough Coleslaw 4 gal- OK maybe some left Crockpot with cheese dip and tortilla chips..how many chips1 pound per 12 cheese 3-4 #10 cans, about 3 gallons Pin wheels 2/ person- fine Veggie tray...will use guide for tray Fruit salad ( thinking of a recipe on Pinterest that uses fruit cocktail mixed with fresh or frozen fruit and vanilla pudding) not sure how much...? 4 1/2 to 5 gallons 2 rolls /person- OK, 4 pounds butter Cup cakes instead of wedding cake 200- if all one flavor, 150 plenty Banana pudding purchasing from local restaurant 120 servings. 100 OK.
