How many pounds of ground beef do I need for 70 people?
If serving with sides you need to figure 1/3 pound per person minimum. As mentioned figure around 50% loss. At a 1/3 pound per person you are looking at needing 23-24 pounds of finished product.
How many pounds of taco meat do I need for 150 people?
That is a lot of meat for a soft taco to hold, so I figured that for each person to get 4 oz of meat they would probably need at least two tacos. There were roughly 125 rsvps, Joannie told me to plan for 150, just to be on the safe side. Roughly 40 pounds of meat would be needed to make an estimated 300 tacos.
How many tacos will 1lb of meat make?
Men actually usually eat 2 or 3 and women seem to usually eat 2 tacos. So 1 pound of raw ground meat will make about 9 tacos.
How many pounds of meat do you need to feed 75 people?
If you’re serving families, 1/4 pound per person will probably be plenty but if you’re feeding 75 men, you’d better count on AT LEAST 1/2 pound per person.
How many tacos will 3 pounds of meat make?
Although the standard is 3 tacos per person, folks tend to be a bit generous when filling their own tacos so caterers calculate 2 tacos per person for taco bars. One pound (16 ounces) of 80/20 raw ground beef, pan browned and drained, will equal 12 ounces of cooked ground beef.
How much should a taco bar cost per person?
For around $8-$9/person, you’ll get everything you need to feed all your guests and then some. Not to mention plate ware, serving utensils, and more.

When Meat Is the Main: When cooking something like steak, roast, chicken, or pork, where meat is the main feature of the meal and paired with a few side dishes, we recommend about 1/2 pound (eight ounces) per person, up to 3/4 (12 ounces) pound for bigger appetites and those who love leftovers.
What do I need for a taco party?

- Hard- and soft-shell (corn and flour) tortillas.

- Seasoned ground beef.
- Refried beans.

How do you calculate meat per person?
An average adult will eat about 1 pound of food. Hence a good rule of thumb is to go with 1/2 a pound or 8 ounces of meat per person. This is when the meat is your main dish. You can adjust the amount by increasing it for teenagers and decreasing it for younger kids.
