Opinions on how many this should feed

4 portions here too.

I'm make something quite similar tonight, the same size pack of stewing steak cut up small and chucked in the SC to make chilli. We're having it in burritos later and then the other half will make jacket potato fillings or a meaty pasta sauce on Monday. All 4 will be big portions.

Have been a bit virtuous and have removed a 'take-away' container full and will put it in the freezer.

Do not think I can go cold turkey and make into four portions all at once.

out of curiosity, how many grams is what you are considering a portion? i am just trying to compare it to the weight i measured out. thanks so much.

Hi

To feed three, I would use 250g mince, tin of toms, big tin of kidney beans, an onion and a red pepper. However, we always have rice or pasta with this which spins it out and makes it much more filling. If I only had bread and green salad think I would eat the lot by myself!

Not looking good is it. Off to break the news to Mr Spirit that we are greedy. Oh the shame.

Well done everyone else, it is eye opening when you hear what others do.

Not saying you are greedy, you just have good appetites.

I only asked because if you were throwing away a small amount, it would be easier to cut back. Love LO's on baked potato esp with grated cheese.

At least four generous portions, but I could probably make it into six by adding some chopped up veg and a handful of porridge oats.

same here, but padded out with more mushrooms, another tin of toms and another tin of beans :T

2 meals for a family of four (2 adults 2 kids). A recommended portion of meat in a meal is 100g but given you have 2 tins of beans adding extra protein. I would say it should serve at least 4/6 adult portions.

I'd serve 4-5 adults with that amount, but we're not big meat eaters

we'd have lots of stuff on the side, any of ... rice, sweetcorn, sour cream, Greek yogurt, soft tortillas, tortilla chips, grated cheese etc

& leftover cold chilli makes a great sandwich

Probably 4 to 6. If it was Bolognaise without the added beans then 4, but the added beans would make it serve more.

The other thing you need to take into consideration before you consider yourself greedy is how much you eat at other meals/snacks. I would get four portions out of it but I don't eat big meals and tend to eat little and often. If you just have three meals a day and that is the main meal it isn't so much in comparison to someone else who eats less in one meal but eats more often.
