Help doubling this recipe

[ThisNameHasChanged]

Hi,
Making this for dinner tonight (and some for the freezer). I was going to use 1kg of beef & just going to double the ingredients, will that be OK as I know it isn't always that simple?

(I copied the recipe from the Bored of Lunch Facebook page.)

Slowcooker Beef Curry (Low cal) 🍛🥩 (516 cals a serving including 200g rice)

200g of rice is a good portion so to lower calories reduce to 150g. This recipe serves 4.

Ingredients

• 500g beef 🥩
• 1 x onion 🧅
• 1 tsp of peanut butter 🥜
• 1.5 tbsp curry powder
• 1 tbsp cumin
• 1 tbsp Garam masala
• Fresh coriander 🌿
• 1 red chilli 🌶 (no seeds)
• 150ml of beef stock
• 1 can of chopped tomatoes 🍅 (Sometimes I use coconut milk instead)
• 1-2 tbsp of tomato purée 🍅
• Salt and pepper 🧂
• 4-5 garlic cloves (I love garlic)

1. Add everything above to the Slowcooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours, you can also cook on low for 7.

1. Top the bowls with nuts, coriander and red chilli

That’s what I would do, sounds yummy x

As long as it all fits in your slow cooker, you should be fine!
It sounds delicious…

@Catsfrontbum & @Ohyeahwaitaminute thank you both 😊

Looks perfectly fine to double that up. A few recipes are very sensitive, akin to a chemical reaction where changing quantities, time or temperature can have serious consequences. This is definitely not one of them. Just make sure you adjust seasoning to taste once it's almost done. If it's too thick add a bit more stock, if it's too watery add more tomato puree to thicken it.

It's usually baking recipes for cakes etc that are sensitive to being doubled, this looks fine, only thing I would personally watch would be the heat from the chili.

Thanks all, I've put it on. I asked as I've had previous bad experiences with some dishes with lots of spices coming out a bit grainy/powdery or too watery when the quantities were doubled. I'm sure it'll be edible 🤞😅.
