    Just surf the Web and find a recipe that serves eight, then multiply the ingredients by 18.75.
    At roughly 8 ounces per serving, 150 servings is 37.5 quarts or 9 3/8 gallons. Let’s just round it up to 40 quarts or 10 gallons.
    I hope this helps you:) I have never cooked for a large amounts of people. Here are a couple of recipes with enough ingredients for 50 people that I found on the internet.
