how many sauteed green beans for 16 people

Thanks eveyone.....appreciate it

I would say 4lbs., if other sides are offered with the main meal.

I go by fistfuls. I think about a fistful (2 inches diameter bundle) per person is usually enough and then add a bundle or two extra just in case someone really LOVES green beans. Not scientific, I know.

Figure 4 unces pre-cooked weight per person. Most grocery stores have weights scattered throughout the produce area,
