I have no idea how much chop meat but for a party that large I would get the pre-made ones from the frozen section or the pre-made patties from the meat section at BJ's.
You could also go by the rule of 1/2 lb patty per person.

At least 15 pounds of chopped meat, I would think.

well, I usually get about 4 good size burgers per pound of meat.. so I would figure 1 pound per 4 people and then figure 1 pound per 6 toddlers if you are going to make their burgers smaller.

I had 30 adults and 15 kids yesterday. I bought 12 lbs and made it into sliders. With the dogs and BBQ chicken we went through about 3/4's of it.
I really think sliders are better than hamburgers.. less waste because people sometimes only want a little.. and if they want more.. they grab another!

Exactly this. I made burgers this weekend for a bbq and I made 4 burgers from every pound. I bought 5.75 pounds and got 23 burgers. I measured the amount of meat I used to try to get them all to be approx the same size. For toddlers you could make them a bit smaller and get more from a pound. But, my almost 3 year old can eat almost an entire adult sized burger (but that would be his entire meal, he wouldn't eat any of the other things.)
