I checked online and also in my Betty Crocker cookbook. Two 14 to 16 ounce cans equals three cups beans. One pound of dried beans soaked and cooked equal 6 to 7 cups. So if you follow the amounts in the recipe, you would use about 1/2 pound dried beans before soaking and cooking. Personally, I would put more beans in this recipe because there is a lot of tomatoes. And some people would leave out the beans altogether.

I just do not know. Maybe someone else can help you with this question. I don't use dried beans that much.
