Great sounding and looking recipe! I was wondering though, what size crock-pot did you use for this recipe and what type of pan….did you use a spring form pan?
Any Stove safe pan can be used in a crock-pot. The one I normally use is a Crock Like bowl. A foil pan would also work. Or a spring pan but if you use the spring pan, you will need a metal trivet to prop the pan out of the water.
