I'm making chili beans tomorrow for a chili cookoff. I couldn't remember and couldn't find in my cookbook, how many cups cooked beans resulted from one cup dry. I was thrilled to find the answer so easily. I'm using cranberry beans, but I'm sure it will be about the same as the examples. Thank you!
