What size slow cooker is best to use for this recipe?
We used a regular 6 quart slow cooker. You can see it in one of the pictures with the paper towels and the cover.
Can you make this on advance? Or is it best served right after it is done
You can make it in advance but it is best served warm in my opinion. If we have leftovers we warm in the oven at 300 degrees for 15 minutes or so. but it is best when just made.
