How much chili to make for a chili cookoff?

January 3rd, 2013

I’ll be competing in a chili cookoff and I’ve never done it before! There will be about 30-35 competitors and around 1000 people tasting the chili. I’ve got a 7 quart crock pot, will this be enough or should I double it?

Maybe you shouldn’t be competing in a Chili Cookoff if you can’t figure out how to cook for 1,000 people.

Do a little math, sweetheart. Multiply 1 cup times 1000 people and convert that to gallons. Yeah, gallons.

Not sure how much you plan on serving them, if it is a 1 cup(8 oz) serving then you will need about 62 gallons of chili, if you serve 1/2(4oz) cup servings you will need 31 gallons of chili.
