How long do you bake a double batch?
GG
Hi Kelly, If you want to double the recipe I would suggest mixing all the ingredients together and then dividing the mixture evenly between two 8-cup baking dishes. You can then bake them side by side in the oven for the time instructed in the recipe. Hope that helps! Happy cooking, GG
