Doubling Recipes: Refried Beans vs Bean Dip

In summary, when doubling a recipe for refried beans or bean dip, you can typically use the same amount of ingredients, but it's best to taste and adjust for seasoning and consistency. The cooking time may not need to be adjusted, but it's best to keep an eye on the dish. Both refried beans and bean dip can be frozen and different types of beans can be used in the recipe. However, substitutions may result in slight variations in flavor and consistency.

I have a show this weekend that I will be doubling the recipe. The Season's Best suggests using refried beans rather than the bean dip if you double it. Has anyone tried doubling it and what did you use?

Thanks,
Katie

I always double it. It's that good and doesn't last long. I use refried beans and bake it in my cranberry square baker. I keep the tomatoes, green onion, and cilantro on the side so guests can add their own garnish. I'm making it again this weekend. It's always a hit!! :D When I make it here at home I add more too it. I add taco meat, peppers, etc...
