Doubled all the ingredients, EXCEPT we were shy on the chicken broth a little. We used 28 ounces.
Used the DCB instead of the deep dish baker. Did the whole parchment paper thing for the first step and just doubled the cooking time. Then, added all the broth, covered with the DCB lid and nuked for 18 mins. It came out absolutely PERFECT. I was surprised and amazed how great the rice came out. I think the secret was using slighly less broth and using the DCB made it so it didn't take longer than simply doubling the time for double the ingredients. KWIM?

Frequently Asked Questions
What ingredients do I need to double the Sun Dried Tomato & Sausage Risotto?
To double the recipe, you'll need double the amount of Arborio rice, chicken or vegetable broth, sun-dried tomatoes, sausage, onion, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and any additional seasonings or vegetables you prefer. Make sure to adjust the quantities accordingly to maintain the flavor balance.
How long will it take to prepare and cook the doubled risotto?
Doubling the recipe will not significantly increase the cooking time. You should still expect the total time to be around 30 to 40 minutes, but be sure to stir more frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Can I use a different type of sausage for the doubled risotto?
Yes, you can use any type of sausage you prefer, such as Italian, chicken, or turkey sausage. Just make sure to adjust the seasoning if the sausage is flavored differently, as this can affect the overall taste of the dish.
What cooking equipment do I need to double the risotto?
You will need a large pot or deep skillet to accommodate the increased volume of ingredients. A wooden spoon or spatula for stirring, and measuring cups for accurate ingredient amounts will also be essential.
Can I make the doubled risotto ahead of time and reheat it?
Yes, you can make the risotto ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a little extra broth or water to loosen it up, as it may thicken when stored.
