I'm guessing 10 lbs with the other items will be very safe...just a guess.

I'm guessing 6 pounds would be plenty, but they are cheap, so cook 8-10 to be safe.

It would be great if y'all would post your recipes and ingredients for white beans for large crowds in the recipe thread. Could help someone else.

A pound of dry beans will provide 10 x 1/2 cups of cooked beans.

For every pound of dry beans...... I use, I small onion diced, 1/2 pound meat, 1/4 cup Crisco, salt and pepper to taste. I dont do anything more than that because I like to taste beans when I eat beans. My Pawpaw was a cook in the Navy and in the oilfield, thats his recipe.

My Paw Paw typically used salt meat....... good salt meat is getting harder and harder to find so now i use pickled pork.

Ham shanks, quite often. Hocks, sometimes. Bacon grease with sausage browned in it. I vary.

I like to keep my white beans white so I dont brown anything.
