The classic recipe (4 cups of green beans, one 10.5 oz can of cream of mushroom soup) makes about 6 side servings of 2/3 cup, or about 8 smaller servings when there are many other sides.
At 6 servings per batch, 20 people need 4 batches: 16 cups of green beans, 4 cans of soup, 3 cups of milk, 4 tsp soy sauce and about 5 1/3 cups of fried onions. Bake it in two 9x13 inch dishes.
Four cups of drained cut green beans is about two 14.5 oz cans, or about 1 pound of fresh or frozen beans, per batch.
