When cooking as a side dish, 1 lb of beans should feed about 10 people. If serving as a main dish, then 1 lb of beans should feed about 6 people.

Serves 50
Beans (lbs.) 5
Salt (oz.) 1.5
Granulated Garlic (oz.) 1.3
Black Pepper (oz.) .5
Red Pepper (oz.) .4
Water (gal.) 1.7
Onions (lbs.) 1.25
Tasso / Andouille (lbs.) 5

Soak beans overnight and drain water. Cook onions in a stock pot until translucent. Throw everything else in the pot and cook until you get a nice creamy consintency in the gravy. I like to thow in some green onions and some parsley at the end for some extra color and flavor.

And how much rice to go with that 50-serving recipe?

As little as possible. The white beans are the star not the rice.

I guess this thread was anchored cause the subject is too short.

I'd probably go with about 2 lbs. max. Personally, I like more beans, gumbo, etouffee... and less rice. On the other hand, if you are trying stretch the main dish or save on the cost, then go with more rice.
