2 green and 2 red bellpeppers, diced, more if you like
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups cooked rice
3 tablespoons or more of each: chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder
1 tablespoon cumin
2 cans Ro -Tel
2 cups water
vegetable oil, about 3 tablespoons to saute the veggies and garlic
salt and pepper
minced jarred jalapenas, as much as you want, or dont use at all

Are you talking about green beans, fava beans, lima beans, or red beans? If you're talking about chili, or chili like products, then consider approximately 1 to 1 1/2 cups per person. If you're talking about the other kind, then 1/2 cup is usuallly the norm.

If you are cooking dry beans, you need to go ahead and prepare about a 10lb bag. (Be sure to soak overnight, but before you do that, look the beans and be sure to remove any culls and stones.)

Answer 5

a half cup of cooked dried beans is one serving, so approximately 20 cups if you were to give each person one serving.
