Baked Beans

[mattmountz94]

Need some easy advice. Having a get together of around 50-60 people this weekend. Having chicken, pulled pork and hotdogs. The sides are some pasta/potato salad sort of stuff, along with other crap.

I am making wampus baked beans. Any idea on if i should double or triple or even 4 bang those beans?

Thanks

I don’t recall how much the original recipe makes, but I usually find one full size tray of beans will serve 20-25 people, so I’d definitely at least double it.

I am having a hard time remembering too. Something tells me it filled my 12" cast iron skillet.

Just made these a couple weeks ago. My skillet was about half full on a single batch. Don't remember the size of my skillet, but fits in the Bandara with enough room on the side for a fatty for what that's worth. I can text the kids and see what the skillet size is.

I have been experimenting with these since I came across the recipe on here a couple months back. This is a half aluminum pan, I made a double batch of the wet ingredients, and then had to add some liquid to it. This didn’t fill the pan and served about 15 people. I started with dried beans, 4 cups, the night before. In your situation if it were me I would start with canned plain beans, not canned baked beans, It will turn out too sweet. Good luck, that recipe is awesome!

I don't know the amounts for that recipe, but two #10 cans of Great Northern Beans feeds about 50 with my recipe. Five ounce servings.

I would a 3x-4x batch for that many folks. I 3x the recipe for my Xmas gathering of 30-40 folks and always have leftovers.

I'm making a 2x batch this weekend.

Good luck

Yea that is right where i was thinking. I don't mind left overs either. I feel people either like beans or they don't. I feel a party of 50 maybe only 25 will actually try them.

Yea the recipe calls for plain beans and that is what i use. I have made pretty many times and always good. My favorite was with a hot sausage instead of the maple. But that batch had heat that wouldn't serve good for a party.

4 times the recipe and it filled two half pans and maybe 1-2 cups left over. Just for future reference
