Too large of a crockpot

i have a quite large crockpot (probably 6L)- a big oval one. Most recipes seem to call for a 3-5L sized pot. For recipes on the smaller side, should I just double the recipe and cook as is? Just following the recipes as listed usually means the food cooks way too fast because the pot is not even half full. I'm just wondering if doubling recipes would help with this.

when i did own a large cp I usually looked at dbling the recipe. I now have a smaller one just for dh and I and it works good. But often you wont hurt most recipes by dbling them for the cp. freeze the extras
