4 #10 cans of baked beans should be enough as a side dish. 8 cans if served as a main meal portion. This is about the same as 15 or 30 quart cans.
**a #10 can is just 1 cup smaller than a US gallon, and holds (30) - 1/2 cup servings. 2 to 6 servings = a portion size (the actual portion served). Serving sizes are only a measure of nutritional value and are not actual portion sizes.
If it's part of a 'meat and 3 veg meal' , then 12 pounds is enough. - - (even though I have cooked over 40 years and have a Chef degree, I still don't know how you measure solid vegetables in gallons )
How many baked beans per person for 50 people varies by the size of the can. On average you would need 275 ounces of baked beans for this size of servings.
If it's a side dish, about 12 pounds
2 large cans should do fine.

How many beans baked beans does it take for 50 people
275
A half a cup of baked beans is a serving. To serve 100 people, you would need about 50 cups of baked beans. You might want to make a little more to account for people taking more than one serving.
35-40ish. I'd say make about 4oz (1/2 cup) per person. I just read 1 1/4 gallons serves 50 people. Some people don't even like baked beans so the ones who love it will eat their share :-) Plus consider the other foods available to pick from at the event.

The real deal Heinz Baked Beans come from the UK, although until 1928, Britain actually imported them from Canada. Folks in the US can order them from various online web sites, including one large bookseller, for about $2 per can, if you can't find them locally. The real Heinz Baked Beans, now called just "Heinz Beanz" (ugh, now even beans are subject to leetspeak spelling?) are not the same as the Vegetarian Baked Beans sold by Heinz in the US, which have 50% more calories due to containing more sugar. Accept no substitutes. Buy the REAL Heinz Baked Beans, not the "southernized" US vegetarian version (if you've ever tasted how sweet iced tea is in the southeast US, you know what I mean by southernized). If you mean, what kind of beans they are, I believe they're haricot beans.
I would make 12 pounds

it entirely depends on how much these 12 people eat!
It would depend on the recipe and portion size, but a general rule of thumb is about 1/2 to 1 pound of uncooked beans per person. So, for 50 people, you would need approximately 25 to 50 pounds of uncooked beans.
a 10 lb can of green beans will feed 50 people with 3 oz portions.
I don't know how long you do it for in a microwave but on the hob keep stirring do it doesn't stick in the pan, and keep it on the heat until it starts to bubble or you can taste it...it really depends on how you like your beans
Depends on the cannery, the company who packages the products. Most of the sugar can be removed by rinsing the beans in cold water using a colander.
it really depends on what type of beans and the portion size
