Bean conversion help! What measurement of dried beans will give me two cups of cooked beans?

Here's a site that gives that info, Erin.

6. What are the measures for dry beans vs. cooked? I'd like to use the recipes I have and that I know my family will enjoy.

A. Here are some approximate measures
1 pound dry beans = 2 - 2 1/2 cups
1 cup dry beans = 2 - 3 cups cooked beans
1 (19-oz) can cooked, drained beans = 2 cups
1 (16-oz) can cooked, drained beans = 1 3/4 cups
1 (15-oz) can cooked, drained beans = 1 1/2 cups
