I can’t wait to try this because my copy cat recipe I found somewhere on the net was a disappointment. One question…..at what point do you transfer to the crock pot? Between steps #4 & #5???
Johanne, Thank you for your post as I failed to post that step, but I have updated it, and it is now step #4…. Again thanks for catching my mistake, I certainly appreciate it, and Happy Crocking!
