There are several facts that you can assume when figuring out how much you need.
- On average a typical serving of baked beans is about a half of a cup. If your guests really love beans you can increase the serving size.
- The half cup measure holds true for most sides, you can apply it to potato salad, coleslaw, and just about any other side you might serve at your barbecue.
- This calculator adds 5% to the calculation so there is a little extra room for big eaters.
