SUMMARY
Cooking 3 lbs of meat for a gathering can reasonably serve 10 people when prepared as small hoagies, especially if accompanied by appetizers, salad, and dessert. Each recipe typically serves 6, but cutting the hoagies in half allows for 12 servings. The discussion emphasizes that while the event occurs right after work, it is not intended to provide full meals, and past experiences indicate that over-preparing can lead to leftovers. For optimal results, consider the number of attendees and the variety of food offered.

Each recipe serves 6 as regular servings. So if you made the hoagies and cut them in half, you could reasonably expect to serve 12. If you also have a veggie tray or salad, you'd be fine.Of course, it's still important to remember that, even though your show is right after work, we're not there to serve full meals to people.
