crock pot notes
Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.common recipe questions
Can I make this with canned tomatoes?
Since canned tomatoes are softer than fresh, you will need to reduce the cooking time. Start checking them for doneness after about 4 hours.

The recipe is really a nobrainer but it's nice because you don't have to stir. Also I don't add the paste, I just leave the lid ajar during part of the time so it reduces down. Good flavor.
