Join the discussionMade this the other day. It turned out good! I didn’t use the bacon or sherry but it still tasted good (I did have some bacon grease to cook the onions in). If you’re going to cook this for the full 8 hours or more, I might suggest adding some more liquid. I left mine while at work and it overcooked. Might have been my slow cooker but it was still good, just parts of it dried out.
Sounds so great! I’m excited to try it! I’m wondering though, can you do the slow cooking after it is frozen? ie. saute the onions etc., combine everything in a freezer bag, freeze, then when you are ready to eat it, throw it in the slow cooker? Either way, I’m excited! Thanks!
Yes, you could definitely adapt it to be an easy assembly meal and cook on serving day. Good thought!
Awesome! Thanks!
