What size of a ham do I need to smoke to make 50 muffin cup size smoked ham quiches?

Answer 1

I can't see you using more than an ounce of meat in each one... lets see, 16 ounces in a pound, 4 x 16 = 64. 4 lbs. ought to do it, and still some left for a couple sandwiches. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Muffin size huh -- I would guess about 1/8 cup per muffin, so that would be about a 6-7lb ham. But why not bake a larger one and enjoy the extra!!

Answer 4

depends on the ham--vchopped, shredded, sliced, wafer sliced?

depends also on how much ham per muffin cup-
-I would think a couple tablespoons per cup would be more than enough--I dont remember how many TBLS per cup but you should be able to find a conversion chart--
or try about 3 lbs. good luck--sounds interesting.

Answer 5

2 -3 pounds of ham should be more than enough. If you buy a bigger one, then serve the excess on the side or make some scalloped potatoes or bean soup with it.

Answer 6

you can make 16 per pound
so my guess would be between 4 and 5 pounds
