Izzat 20 *GALLONS* of chilli? I put on chilli suppers for small
organisations with that amount. The biggest chilli supper I normally
do is only 60 gallons (although we have had to make an additional 10
or 20 gallons from time to time) with beenz.
When I do an ICS cook-off (no beenz) I use a five pound recipe which
makes about 1 1/2 gallons of just meat sauce.
20 gallons of chilli will take about 40 pounds of ground meat. 2 lb.
of chilli mix, 2 lb of kidney suet, 12 oz of ground cumin, etc.
So, if you guys are really doing 20 gallons of chilli (with or without
beenz) me 'ats orf to ye!
