Crockpot lady, so disappointed!!! Made a special trip to grocery store just for ingredients. After 2 hours of crocking there is more liquid then a soup! I continued crocking for 3 rd hour and still floating. The expense and the hope of having a group for dinner has forced me to rate this recipe 1 star…and that’s high!!!! I will be tossing out.

I think there is a typo in the directions, it should cook on HIGh not LOW. HIGH worked for me.
