How much brisket to serve 100 people?

For 100 people, you will need approximately 15-20 pounds of brisket. This will provide about 1/4 pound of brisket per person, which is a generous serving size. If you are serving other side dishes, you may want to reduce the amount of brisket you serve to 1/3 pound per person.

When it comes to cooking brisket, it's always a good idea to make a little more than you need, just in case. Brisket is a very popular dish and it can be difficult to predict how much each person will eat. If you have any leftover brisket, you can always save it for later or use it in another recipe.

Here are some tips for cooking brisket for a large group of people:

* Choose a large enough brisket to feed everyone. A 15-20 pound brisket should be plenty for 100 people.

* Cook the brisket in a low oven (250 degrees Fahrenheit) for several hours until the meat is tender.

* Baste the brisket with a flavorful liquid every 30 minutes or so to keep it from drying out.

* Let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before carving it. This will help the meat to retain its juices.

* Serve the brisket with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and salad.
