If it's 3 pounds to start with, it'll cook down a bit. Then it depends on the appetites of everyone. Some people are bigger eaters than others. Assume you will have 2-3/4 pounds of cooked meat. A 6 ounce serving should be fine for most (some will eat less, others more). So about 7 people.

I'd say 7 me's and 30 you's.

4-5 adults

lol...there's no way in hell you can feed 8 people on a three pound roast unless your at a vegan convention....my roomie and i finished it off ourselves...with a little for the dog;-)

The basic rule for UNCOOKED meat, for generous portions:

1/4 lb per person if the meat is only part of the dish, like spaghetti & meatballs, lasagne, stir-fry, meat pies.

1/2 lb. per person if the meat is the actual main course, like prime rib, steaks, fried chicken.

So your 3-lb roast will serve about 6.

after it is cooked I would say four people.
