2. I have discovered that if you increase the recipe amounts—by 1½ times or by doubling—you end up with too much sauce and meat that lacks the caramelized edges and the tender innards that the recipe as stated yields. If you want to increase the amounts, it’s better to do a second complete recipe (in the portions stated above) in a separate roaster. The meat and sauce freeze beautifully if that makes more than you need.
