"she laid this exact predicament out rather simply: When determining the right size Dutch oven for you, you'll want to accommodate 1 quart for every person you're feeding - rounding up for leftovers. If you're flying solo or have a partner, that means a 3 to 4 quart Dutch oven like the Overmont Enameled Cast Iron Dutch oven, is going to work great."
"This can handily feed about four people and hits the sweet spot from family dinners to backyard BBQs no problem, with the space to fit and cook just about every Dutch oven recipe. As for those supersized 7 ½ to 13 quart giants? It's best not to touch them unless you've got just as big a family or gathering to match."
Use approximately 1 quart of Dutch oven capacity per person, rounding up for leftovers. For one or two people, a 3–4 quart Dutch oven is appropriate. A 5–7 quart Dutch oven can feed about four people and suits most household cooking needs, fitting most recipes and occasions from family dinners to backyard barbecues. Supersized 7½–13 quart Dutch ovens accommodate seven to a dozen people but are heavy, expensive, and practical only when regular large-capacity cooking is required. Consider cost, weight, and actual usage frequency before purchasing very large sizes.
