Marnie’s “Chili for 100”


For 100 people you will need to multiply the following by 5 times, but the methods and amounts I am listing are a more manageable size to deal with.
This is easy to handle even in a small kitchen


Olive Oil ½ cup X 5 = 1 liter bottle

3ea. 15 ounce cans of red beans or 45 ounces. X 5 = 225 ounces

1 ½ pounds of meat X 5 = 7 ½ pounds
3 ea. 15 0unce cans of diced tomatoes, or 45 ounces. X 5 = 225 ounces

3cups of bouillon X 5 = 7 ½ pints

3 tblspns. of Chili Stuff Chili Mix, about 2 oz. X 5 = 15 Tblspns or
5 packets

Ten gallon pot. = 10 gallon pot or
bigger


Heat a big deep pan and add enough olive oil to brown about two pounds of meat at a time. This is a manageable amount. Depending on what you use, the meat should be broken or sliced into about ½” pieces. Season the meat as if you were making it just by itself. Each time a pan full is cooked dump it into the ten gallon pot with its juices.

Get another big deep pan going at the same time. Add some olive oil and you add the approximately 45 ounces of red beans and 45 ounces of diced tomatoes and a couple of cups of bouillon. As they are done just dump the pan into the ten gallon pot with the meat. This pot should be kept at just a warm temp.
This has to be done five times for 100 people.

Stir everything in this big pot so it gets mixed but not mushy. Now add 7.5 oz. of Chili Stuff Chili Mix, that is about 15 Tblspns. Add the balance of the bouillon. Then cook the whole pot at comfortable temperature so it doesn’t boil. Keep a lid on loosely for awhile, then take the lid off to let the chili reduce to the consistency you like. Keep stirring so the bottom doesn’t burn.
