    This is more of a question for Jamie than a comment:
    I wanted to make this recipe, looks like something my picky family would eat! I wanted to use brown rice instead of white rice. Should the rice be cooked prior to putting in the crock pot? If not, the recipe does not say it needs extra water in the crock pot. Would I need to add extra water if using brown rice?? Thanks for any help you can provide!

    no problem
    questions are welcome also :-)
    yes you can definitely substitute brown rice (I actually prefer brown in general) and no it should not be cooked prior to adding it to the crock pot. Since brown rice is a little heartier and takes longer to cook, I’d try adding about 1/2 cup water or more broth to the recipe. Taste a few pieces of the rice after about 2 hours and if it’s not close to being the right doneness and all the liquid is gone, add another 1/4 to 1/2 cup liquid for the last hour of cooking. Let us know how your picky family likes it :-)

    This is a question for Jamie too. I work and I would love to be able to throw this in the slow cooker before going to work and having it ready when I get home. Can I cook it on low for 6 hours, rather than high on 3? Thanks!

      that should work, I haven’t tried it but really should be good. Let us know!

    Directions should say “remove bay leaves before serving.”
