When I make the butter bean recipe, it was for 5 adults, and there were usually enough leftover beans for one more meal. I had two teenaged boys most of the time, and they ate like there was no tomorrow. If the beans weren't the main dish, but a side, I would only make half. I served them with a baked ham, greens and cornbread.When my mom made this, we had a family of six.
