Hi all,

I found this recipe and I haven't tried it yet but I will. I thought with
the holidays comming other would like to try it. Has anyone ever made this
in a crockpot before?
Take care,
SPOONS

Why? I could be missing something here, but I can't see why I'd want to
take 4-8 hours to make what I can do in the oven in an hour or so. I
see no advantage whatever to the crockpot method -- what am I missing?

The only advantage I can see is if one didn't
actually have an oven. Say in a dorm or something?
But then wouldn't they just buy the prepared bags
too? I dunno?

I've made it and it came out great. Only downside was the
smell -- everyone in the building was hungry the whole time
it was cooking!

I don't have an oven available at school (I'm a teacher). I use the
crockpot method sometimes with my kiddos (it's a great chance for them
do to some measuring and sequencing and following directions and all of
those wonderful cooking skills that apply to the kindergarten math and
reading curriculum). The point is making their own snack, not merely
buying the bagged product to give to them.

That's agreat idea.. What a great teacher you are. My child is in
kindergarten also and his teacher is very creative. he loves school.

Take care

Hmmmmm -- I'm now thinking I won't do this in a crockpot but might well
do it in my electric roaster.

The electric roast is perfect, Barb. That's what I usually use. I like
the large size of the roaster insert and the fact that it's deep. Makes
mixing and stirring much easier.
