Thank you, As far as how many I'm not sure It depends on how many people like beans and go back for more, One of my grandsons loves these beans and goes back several times.
Awesome recipe Gary! Cooked the scaled down version today, use some of the brisket trimmings and threw them in the beans while they were cooking and it was great. Like other posters, i cut back a little on the brown sugar cause I used Bush's. Added some hot sauce and perfection!
One question, how many people will the original recipe serve? If I am cooking for 50-75 people will that be enough, or should I double that?
Your answer is very timely. I have been asked to make your beans for a BBQ next weekend. I think the host will be having about 25 total. A few months ago, Costco had a 117 ounce can (roughly 2x the 55 ounce can that is part of the original recipe) of Bush's beans (which is what I've been using) for next to nothing. 117 ounces is almost exactly 15 8-oz servings, but I figured 8 ounces is a lot (some don't have any, but some go back for seconds). Your suggestion of 4 ounces sounds closer. At 1/2 cup (4 oz), that would be 30 servings which would be more than enough.

Also depends on if your serving or they are serving themselves (People have a tendency to load up) I think the avg. rule of thumb is about 1/2 cup per serving.
I'm sure Chef JJ and a few others can give you a better average amount. But make plenty better to have some to send home with folks than run out

Thanks. Glad everyone enjoyed themGary, just wanted to let you know that I thawed out two containers of your beans and took them to a clam bake this afternoon. Everyone kept saying how good they were and we're just loving them.
Thank you!
