While Cheree said she prefers the dutch oven method listed here on the recipe, Laura decided to give this one a try in her slow cooker! She has the Beautiful by Drew cooker with the sear function. She cooked on low 6 hours (with a 2 hour roast) and then did ramekins and put in the oven super quick to broil.
So just know the slow cooker is also a good option if you don’t want to run your oven for long – or you could even use a little torch to melt the cheese and skip the oven entirely!
