I have two slow cookers. One for cooking meat and the other to cook potatoes. I bought them at Walmart. My slow cookers aren’t named brand but they work just as good. With my experience with slow cookers, you can cook meals in low (8 hours) or high (4 hours). When I’m working, I choose the 8 hour cooking, and when I’m home, I use the 4 hour cooking. I recommend the book “Fix-It and Forget-It, 5 ingredient favorites. Comforting Slow-Cooker Recipes” by Phyllis Pellmen Good. It has many good recipes which my family loves. It is a life saver. Hope it works for you.

Sorry Stephanie. I re-read the recipe after I sent that note. It says
right on it: Serves 6-8. Early senility, I guess.
