Chili For 60

Answer 3

If you are not use to cooking for crowds of people, it is best to have it made for you. Check your telephone's yellow pages under caterers.

You can also buy several cans of chili such as Homel and heat it. I would buy half of the cans without beans and the other half with beans and mix the two together.

This is for 10 people:

CHILI CON CARNE FOR A CROWD

6-8 lbs lean beef chuck, round or sirloin
1/4 cup olive oil
2 large onions, diced
1 entire head garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 8 ounce can Hunt's tomato sauce, with chilis
2 cups hot water
6 tablespoons chili powder
4 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon paprika (smoked if available)
2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
3 tablespoons flour (or masa harina)
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
4 tablespoons ketchup
cayenne pepper, to taste

Remove all fat and sinew from beef and cut into 1/4-1/2 inch cubes.
In a large heavy skillet, heat olive oil. When sizzling hot, add a portion of the beef and brown in batches. (If you add too much beef at once, the meat will steam rather than brown.) Add more olive oil as needed. As meat is browned, transfer to a large kettle or stockpot. In same skillet (after meat has been cooked and removed) saute onion until translucent; add garlic and saute until lightly toasted but not browned. Transfer onion and garlic to same pan as meat; mix thoroughly.

Stir in remaining ingredients (except flour or masa harina).

Bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to a very low simmer and continue to coover for 90 minutes to 2 hours or so, stirring frequently, adding small amounts of water if needed. Taste and adjust seasonings. Salt, pepper, garlic or onion powder, cayenne, Tabasco, Frank's Hot Sauce, chopped jalapeno pepper or beef soup base can optionally be added to kick up the flavor (let taste and moderation be your guide - remember, when cooking for a crowd, there will always be some who prefer a milder version; remove and reserve a portion of the unseasoned product for children and others who don't like it hot).

To thicken, stir flour or masa harina into a little water to make a paste, then stir in. Cook 10-20 more minutes.

Serve (optionally) with shredded cheese on top.

Approximately 10 servings.

Answer 4

I would go with a half pound of meat per person, then add a little more just for good measure. It is better to have too much , that to have not enough.
So, 60 people at a 1/2 pound of meat each will be 30 pounds of meat. Then I would add some to that for larger servings, hungry people,and a Heartier over all meal..... So I think I would go with 45 to 50 pounds of meat....See what that looks like, then add the rest accordingly, Maybe 2 or 3 large price club size cans of beans and 4 or 5 of the same size cans of Tomato sauce? ...and jars of spices...Top it with shredded Cheddar cheese and sour cream and nacho chips on the side....or over rice.......Good luck

Answer 5

4 28 ounce cans of tomatoe sauce
2 28 ounce cans of cans chopped tomatoes
2 28 ounce cans of stewed tomatoes
2 28 ounce cans of red kidney beans
1 28 ounce can of chile beans with sauce
4 lbs of hamburger
3 large onions
3 green peppers
3 cloves of garlic
4 TBSP of onion powder
4 TBSP of cumin
4 TBSP of chili powder
2 TBSP of salt
2 TBSP of oregano
2 TBSP of basil
1 TBSP of thyme
1 TBSP of cayenne pepper
2 average size poblano peppers of peppers of your choice,not to make it too hot because a lot of people do not like hot hot chili,especially if there are children .
2 packages of oyster crackers to serve with chili
3 loaves of garlic bread to serve with chili
I did the math,this should be more than enough for what you need.,it averages out to be about 6 to 8 ounces per servings or a bowl of chili for over 60 people.
If there is other food there,you will definately have leftovers.
Total cost of purchase should not cost you over $30.00 .

Answer 6

Find a recipe for 6, then make 10 times more.

Answer 7

how many quarts of chili would i need to feed 60 people

Answer 8

Find a recipe. They usually say how many it serves. If it serves 10, then multiply everything by 6.

Answer 9

i would say 1/4 pound of meat for each person

then when you have your ingredients for that just X 3
