8 pounds of beans

full of home smoked bacon, homegrown onions, jalapenos and topped with cillantro when its about done

A lot like Beirut, that's enough to blow up a bathroom.

That's a lot of beans.

What are you gonna do with all those beans?

Good question. I cooked field trial lunches for several years. I used two pounds of dried beans.

I often chopped up a few links and put them in there to make a full meal. There are some great recipes on OT of all the places.

Retirement party for my father in law today at lunch

Congratulations.

Did they put a dent in ‘em?

How many pounds of cornbread does that need?

Where and what time?

No cornbread just brisket beans and potato casserole along with about 20 different desserts

Looks way good

Whew there will be a lot of natural gas in that room

Wow. Just wow on the deserts. Covered dish on the deserts?

All you need is cornbread and butter

Might make some cornbread tonight now lol

Cornbread and milk!

Buttermilk

Good thing toilet paper is back in stock! 🚽

Fortunately beans keep really well. Had lots of leftovers from one of my kids birthdays. Three years later they were as good as fresh. All I did was freeze them in quart ziplock freezer bags and get all the air out.

Nice. Mom cooked a for a lot of family weddings - standard Texas brisket, beans, and potato salad dinner. Her notes say 8# of pintos feeds 100 as a side dish, I've found that to be pretty accurate.

probably a pretty good measure ... we always planned for heavy eaters and used a pound per 10 people, or 10 pounds for 100 people as a side dish for either BBQ or fried catfish

Just refried the last of them damn they were good!

Love refried beans on nachos.
