casserole cook time
Jeff
11/24/06 		Hi everyone I need some help. Once a month I cook for a local Homeless shelter.This moth I decided to do a chicken casserole the orginal recipe serves 4 with a cook time of 375 for 45 min. I am increasing this by 5 to serve 20 in one pan and will make several pans. How long should I increase my cook time?

To cook more than one pan at a time in the same oven, you may want to allow for another 1/2 hour.

If you are happy with the result, please consider sharing the recipe.

I have been cooking for 20 to 30 people for some time now,but have steped it up to 70 to 100 and can use all the help I can get. I have some help from the church I attend but do it mostly with family and the help of God. Thank's so much.
