Have a 2.4 pound beef roast and about 1.5 pounds of fresh sausage. Going to make a rice and gravy with both of these tomorrow.

With corn and greenbeans, how many people can I expect this to feed? (5 males, 4 females, 1 kid) is who I have coming.

You need more.

I think so too.

How much more would you think?

It will feed everyone, but just...no seconds or leftovers. Figure 25% shrinkage by weight after cooking, and 1/3 lb of protein per person. Do you plan to slice the roast or shred or cut into chunks? Easiest thing is to get more sausage.

I'll probably just get more sausage. I've only cooked pork roast before, never beef. So I'm not exactly sure on what I will do.

I love leftovers...I’d add a second roast.

Another thing. How should I do it?

My plan was to brown the roast on the stove then throw it in the over for some hours on about 300.

Now that I'm adding sausage, should I brown them together and put in oven at same time? Or do my roast first and then do the sausage a good bit later and then add it into the roast pot in the oven? Or just do totally separate gravy's?

Brown the sausage in a pan first, remove and drain on some paper towels. Brown the roast in the sausage drippings. Cook the roast normally and add the sausage a few hours later when the roast in almost done.

Good call. I’d brown some finely diced onions after the roast. Add beef stock to braise in. Add a little garlic, too. Roast low and slow. Sausage backinthepot for the last hour.

300 is good in the oven, or even lower? And how long would you suggest I leave the beef roast in for?
