I need to make enough for everyone's lunches the next day, and sometimes I cook for our housemates too. snowjewelz on "Do you often double/triple recipes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-often-doubletriple-recipes#post-2618696 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 10:58:28 +0000 snowjewelz 2618696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH usually makes huge portions so we all have leftovers to take for lunch.

I love having leftovers so I don't have to cook as often. kes18 on "Do you often double/triple recipes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-often-doubletriple-recipes#post-2618668 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 10:01:22 +0000 kes18 2618668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ All the time! I love leftovers. Either for lunches or dinner. Depends on how many servings, if 4 then I will double. If 6 or more than I might not or I might just do 1.5x. For some things I won't double the meat but will double the veggies and sauce/liquid- more for less. I also like things saucy so sometimes I'll even 3x or 4x the sauce while only doubling the meat/veggies. Usually not for baking since I can't eat all of that at once unless it's for a party or holidays or something. But I've doubled and tripled things for the holidays. futuremama on "Do you often double/triple recipes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-often-doubletriple-recipes#post-2618664 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 09:56:46 +0000 futuremama 2618664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've just started doing this with freezer friendly foods like meatballs, taco meat, sloppy joes. I'm going back to work soon and want to have some things for easy weeknight dinners. I never bake because I'm terrible at it.

Plus he doesn't really care for soups, stews, and other things that would freeze well. I've never even tried making casseroles because I know he would hate it, lol. youboots on "Do you often double/triple recipes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-often-doubletriple-recipes#post-2618648 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 09:25:01 +0000 youboots 2618648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, and toss one in the freezer. We make Spagetti sauce in bulk- using the pioneer woman's recipe and freeze 10+ servings of Spagetti. looch on "Do you often double/triple recipes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-often-doubletriple-recipes#post-2618634 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 09:12:08 +0000 looch 2618634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I never double or triple anything while baking, they never come out right and it's supposedly not recommended anyway. For regular cooking, I haven't followed a recipe in a really long time, I don't actually ever measure stuff like meat or vegetables. caterw on "Do you often double/triple recipes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-often-doubletriple-recipes#post-2618420 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 21:10:21 +0000 caterw 2618420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I usually make 4 servings of everything for our 2.5 person family so hubs has some leftovers for lunch. I usually like to make double or triple of recipes that are really time consuming like homemade spaghetti sauce, meatballs, meatloaf and baking stuff like bread dough (I rise it once and then freeze it- defrost in fridge, rise again, bake). I also like to make enormous batches of cookie dough and freeze it in individual cookies so they are always fresh baked- I don't like cookies if they aren't a little warm and gooey.

My husband wars massive amounts of food and I like to make enough for lunch the next day.

The ingredients just seem to come packaged in the amount for two lasagnas.

Today I quadrupled the filling for chicken lettuce wraps so that I could freeze half :silly: Rocker2014 on "Do you often double/triple recipes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-often-doubletriple-recipes#post-2618310 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 19:30:34 +0000 Rocker2014 2618310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ All the time! We love leftovers, so I almost feel like it is a waste to cook a whole dinner for just one meal. If I have a ton of extra. Ill freeze it in personal portion sized containers.

If something only makes 4 servings I will almost always double it. If something makes 6+ servings I will double it probably half of the time. Sometimes I double for leftovers sometimes to freeze. Casseroles are easy to make two pans of - one to eat then and one in a disposable pan to freeze. autumnlove on "Do you often double/triple recipes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-often-doubletriple-recipes#post-2618267 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 18:37:13 +0000 autumnlove 2618267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not for baking but sometimes for chilis and stews. Bao on "Do you often double/triple recipes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-often-doubletriple-recipes#post-2618251 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 18:21:43 +0000 Bao 2618251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When cooking/baking how often do you double/triple the recipe to either have leftovers or to freeze for a later meal? When I'm making casseroles, soups, chili I almost always double it, if not triple it. It's so much easier to make one larger batch and save for later than it is to make that meal 2-3 times.
