Measure the canned *drained* beans by volume... 3 cups canned = 1 cup dried.
Canned to dried is aproximately 3 : 1.

Um, do you still have that measuring cup... you'll need to measure the liquid
by *volume*... the *net weight* (weight of the beans less the liquid) will be
indicated on the label. I've no idea what you mean by "a 14.5 oz can"... do
you mean the label on the can of beans indicates "14.5 oz net weight"?
