Next weekend will be spent with friends and I have one of the dinner slots. I want my dinner to be a crockpot meal since we're out of the house and have a large amount of people and I'm not great at cooking so this is the safest bet. I made this recipe last week as practice and it turned out well but not sure if I can double it, mostly the liquid. I feel there is enough room to get all the ingredients in, just not all the water. Crockpot is 5 quarts.
Am I good to double this and just not have much water? I would soak the beans overnight so they still double in size. If I shouldn't double up I would love some recommendations of what can feed 10 people in 1 crockpot, thanks.

I would fill it to an inch or two below the top. The increase in onions and celery in the recipe will also increase the amount of liquid in the recipe. I’d watch it for the sake of the rice in case you need to add more, or add slightly less rice than what the doubled recipe would call for.
I’m not a crockpot expect either but I often put waaay less water than what is required for a number of different recipes.
