Thank you! The house smelled too good while this was cooking and we were all counting down the minutes until it was done.

I haven't let this cook for longer than 8 hours, so I can't say how it would be at 12. I would recommend leaving the rice out or cutting it in half, as even cooked rice continues to absorb liquid. I had precooked or prechopped almost all of the ingredients and had frozen them on my Batch Cooking Day. I let mine thaw in the fridge before placing them in the slow cooker, but if you put them in frozen this would allow you to cook them for longer without changing the end result.

Yes, you could put the chicken in raw. I like to cook the hamburger and drain off the fat, but that is my personal preference.

Thanks,

Would it be possible to cook this for longer? I am trying to find crock pot recipes that I can cook for the length of time I am out of the house on a workday…12 hours. Could I cook it longer, and then just have it “Sit” in the pot till I got home? Then warm it up for a bit? Or would that ruin it? Thanks for any help on this!

If I were to use ground chicken could I put it in raw and let it cook with everything else?
