Depends on how many servings the original makes. 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.

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.

I should do it more but I mostly do it when I make lasagna. The ingredients just seem to come packaged in the amount for two lasagnas.

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.

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.

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.

All the time. I love having leftovers so I don't have to cook as often.

All the time for dinners. I need to make enough for everyone's lunches the next day, and sometimes I cook for our housemates too.
