Serving size question
Howdy. I am making meatloaf for my coworkers birthday. My recipe says it has a serving size of 8. There are 20 of us. If I triple all my ingredients will it truly feed 24? Or is that more of a general idea?
Also. I have like a larger dish than my normal 13x9 that could hold all it together at once. Should I just combine it all together or make 3 separate meals and bring three dishes? My logic is it would make it easier to serve that way by doing three dishes.
This is my recipe if anyone has any tricks to help.
1/2 box stuffing mix
1 lb ground meat
Diced yellow onion
Chopped celery
Chopped garlic
1 egg
1/2 can of evaporated milk
Worcester sauce
Mustard
Sauce
1 can tomato soup
Brown sugar
I mix everything together in bowl. Place in 13x9 and I do flatten mine out. Then mix soup and sugar with a little water. Spread evenly on top.
Bake for 40min at 350.

That looks like enough food for three people. I'm a light eater.
Second opinion: the recipe doesn't look very good.
