Answer to sorceressofchaos: My husband cooks all things that call for a slow cooker in a large electric fry pan -- and it always works perfectly if that is any help.

Makes the house smell wonderful! Very quick & easy to throw together. Flavorful, hearty meal for a winter night but nothing "wow" (other than the aroma!). Worth a try but with all the other great recipes out there I probably won't make this again.
