How much sauce to make Swedish meatballs feed 100 people?

Here's how to calculate that:

* Serving size: A typical serving of Swedish meatballs is about 1/2 cup of meatballs with a generous amount of sauce.

* Sauce per person: Let's assume each person uses 1/4 cup of sauce (since you'll have meatballs too).

* Total sauce: 100 people x 1/4 cup of sauce/person = 25 cups of sauce

* Conversion: 25 cups is roughly equal to 2 gallons (8 liters).

Important Notes:

* Sauce consistency: This calculation is based on a standard sauce consistency. If you prefer a thinner sauce, you might need slightly less.

* Meatball size: If your meatballs are larger than usual, you might need slightly more sauce.

* Appetites: Adjust the sauce amount based on your guests' appetites.

Tips for making large batches of Swedish meatball sauce:

* Double or triple recipes: Find a recipe you love and simply double or triple the ingredients.

* Make in advance: You can make the sauce ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze it for longer storage.

* Use a large pot: Use a large pot or Dutch oven that can accommodate the large volume of sauce.

Enjoy your Swedish meatball feast!
