Notes
Use a mandoline slicer: For uniform slices, a mandoline slicer is a game-changer. Just be careful! Grease the slow cooker insert: To prevent sticking, lightly grease the inside of the slow cooker insert with butter or oil. Add some heat: If you like a little spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Use a high-wattage slow cooker: For the best results, use a slow cooker that’s in good working order.
