LOVE all your recipes! I am a huge user of my crock! Thanx for a sire devoted to just that!
This looks so delicious and easy to make! Would it also work in a casserole crock pot? I actually have two casserole crocks; one is rectangle and the other is an oval one. Do you think one would work better than the other?
I have only made this in a 6 quart slow cooker and have not tried making this in my casserole crock pot because of how shallow the insert is. With baking the biscuits on top of everything, you need a nice gap between the top of the biscuits and the top of the crock pot for the paper towel to catch the condensation. If the paper towel touches the biscuits because it isn’t tight enough or because there isn’t a big enough gap between the top of the biscuits and the top of the insert, the biscuits the paper towel touches won’t bake up right. A traditional 6 quart insert is deep enough to keep the paper towel away from the biscuits. I don’t think the casserole crock pot is deep enough. Hope this helps.
Do you cook the meat first?
Yes. It is browned and drained first. Enjoy!
How would it work if I wanted to layer this? I have a pretty big crock pot.
Hi Lindsey!
I’m not sure I understand what you mean. The layers in the recipe will work in a bigger crock pot. The biscuits will be spread out more though. Are you wanting to double the recipe maybe? Can you clarify for me?
Aunt Lou
If I wanted to cook this in a 4 qt. crock would I just cut the ingredient amounts by half? Thanks.
I haven’t tried halving this recipe or making it in a 4 quart, but think it could work. Make sure you watch it closely the first time you make it to adjust the cooking time as needed. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
Could you please post a photo of how you use the paper towel to absorb the condensation. I am having trouble figuring that one out, and there’s definitely a lot of condensation. Thanks very much!
Hi Mary!
I don’t have a way to put an image in the comments, but can try to explain further. Take your paper towels and lay them across the top of your crock pot insert. Place your lid on top of the paper towel. Then pull the edges of the paper towel so that it is tight and not drooping under the lid. I hope this helps!
Aunt Lou
Are the biscuits cut up or left whole?
Hi Brandy!
Your biscuits are left whole! Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
Are the rolls already baked? It doesn’t specify…Thanks!
Hi Marcie!
You do not have to bake your rolls before placing them in the crock pot. They will bake up while in the crock pot. Enjoy!
