I desperately need a bigger casserole dish. The biggest one I currently own is 2.8 Liters. For some reason it doesn't say how many quarts it holds, but I think that works out to about three. That's exactly the right size for it to hold a double batch of most of Tom's and my favorite casseroles. There's no margin of error for stirring without spilling, and very little for experimenting with additional ingredients.

We like to start making huge (triple or bigger) batches, and then freezing the extra for days that we don't have time/energy to cook. To do that we're going to need a casserole dish that can hold at least 5 quarts.

I've been looking around for a few weeks now, but can't find any in my price range. I refuse to pay $100+ dollars for a dish.

Anyone have any suggestions?

buy another (or two) smaller one then spread the batch of whatever out amongst several dishes.
you'll probably spend less money that way and have a lot more versatility.

The problem with that method is that you get more dishes dirty, and need more counter space for the prep.

It's what I'm planning on doing until I do find the perfect thing though.
