If this recipe is doubled does the slow cooking time change?
The Carefree Kitchen
You may need to add an hour or so. Something that might helo is if you stir it half way through and then add a little more cheese on top. If you have that much in there it would help to distribute the hot potatoes throughout. Great idea though. I'm making potatoes for a crowd and I'm going to double mine too!
Kate
Could I bake half way then cook in crock pot for remaining time the next day?
Kayla
That’s what I’m wondering too, I would like to make them for an event tomorrow but make them this evening. Thanks!
The Carefree Kitchen
You bet! You can make them a day or two in advance. Just be sure to let the casserole dish come up to room tempreture before adding it to a hot oven. You can shatter a glass baking dish if it's cold and you insert it in a hot oven.
The Carefree Kitchen
yes, You can saute the onions and mix it all up and then just cook it in the slow cooker.

You give all the nutritional information for this recipe (which is great), but don’t state the serving size. Based off 8 people... but how much did those 8 people get? 1 cup? 2 cups?

Hi there - thanks for your question! In a single batch of this recipe, each serving for 8 people would be a little over 3/4 cup.
