This looks wonderful I have never made it with mushrooms but am going to try it now. One thing I love about Fall is firing up the slow cooker. I love that homey smell that fills the house and the wonderful things you can make in it. Thanks for the great recipe and God Bless.
You know, this is not my picture, but I think that you can add mushrooms the last 2-3 hours and they will be fine
The slow cooker can be a great help to anyone who is very busy. When did you add the mushrooms show in the photo?
