Is there a good rule of thumb for recipe amount and crock pot size. I want to make a hash brown casserole for a cub scout potluck. 2lbs of hashbrowns 4qt vs 6 qt size.   I only have a 6 qt I have a fix and forget it cook book but I hate guessing which recipe will work in mine...plus I need to go shopping for ingredients tonight    Annie

I am not sure what you are asking?
If you only have a 6qt than that is what you have to use isn't it?

Annie, I just usually go by "if it fits I'll put it in"

My cub scout likes hash brown casserole!!

I usually do the fill it until full philosophy. I was just wondering if there is a rule of thumb about a 6qt using so much liquid or pounds of meat vs a 4qt. I usually look at seving size but that can be very subjective Stef I am doubling the recipe so I hope these cub scouts like it too!   In this case as soon as I saw 2lbs of hashbrowns I knew I could double it...

oh, so true! especially with those growing boys you just can't tell sometimes. i don't know what to tell you -- when we prepare food for the scouts it's usually pot luck and there's always too much food so i don't worry about # of servings of serving sizes. sorry i'm not much help.

i hope someone else chimes in.

I don't use one much.. but I just got a 6 qt with a locking lid for Christmas.. and since it's not wrapped yet it says on the box 1 6 lb chicken or 2 3lb roasts.. don't know if that helps at all.

Kind of OT, but I'm going to be getting myself one of those 7 qt ones that Walmart has here...oldest dropped the insert for my used-6 times- 6qt crockpot, and it isn't something you can just go buy a new one of (I've checked).

Rachel I have an insert for a oval one I could send you. My original crockpot was recalled they sent me a brand new one but I still have the insert. I can check the brand if you are interested.
Jodie Thanks that is what I was looking for...now I have an idea.
Stef The cub scouts loved it and so did the family I have a new dish Yeah Annie
