Need Chili Recipe That Will Make 25 Gallons

[r benash]

Hello:

I've been invited to lead a team to enter a benefit eventy . It's a street affair where there will be stands where participants server there chili in 2 oz cups, etc. The quantity I need to make to enter is 25 gallons.

So when scaling up my tecipes it's hard to do be cause most recipes out there mention servings, not size.

If anyone has a Texas Red or a Red Colorado recipe that makes 25 gallon (100 quart stock pot size) quantity that you would be willing to offer up it would be greatly appreciated.

I will have a commercial kitchen to work in and a team to help but getting to scale is proving difficult by simple multiplication.

Yes I have red the archives and found Kevin Kruger's upscale but that proposes a challenge as it is 50-100 servings but doesn't provide total volume produced.

Thanks to anyoe who can help with this. I'm not looking for secret ingredients I can make the base recipe my own - just having trouble scaling to volume not servings.

Again this is for a benefit, non profit, etc. event. PM me if you prefer to not want to share publiclly.

Questions?
Ground beef or cubed
Beans yes/no

When I hear 25 gallons of chili, all I can think of is Kevin Malone from the office.

I think a fair workaround is 1 serving equals 1 cup.
16 servings in 1 gallon.

Mark Foreman - Texas Red or Red Colorado no beans in them. I'm planning on cubing brisket flat (or mix of point) else shoulder.

Thanks Timothy - I agree 3/4 to 1 cup per serving for the average small scale recipe. BUT when trying to scale favorites that don't give serving size make it a little tricky to convert to volume.

John Burns - yes I need to make an amount that is the size of a 100 qt stock pot. i plan to work with 2 60's though.
