I will try this.  Sounds like a recipe I had as a kid, only not prepared in a crockpot. This method will probably be more flavorful. Thanks for posting it!

This looks interesting but wonder how much GARLIC POWDER

does it take.

Wow......thanks for pointing out one (and then I found one other ) error in the shell recipe that I copied (or tried to) from a slow-cooker cookbook by Mable Hoffman, a home economist who used to be a food stylist and editorial consultant for Better Homes & Gardens.

My apologies to you and to dear old Mable!  Reportedlyl, her slow-cooker cookbook sold 2 million copies before I found it during the 1970s.

I have corrected her recipe. that I posted on this thread, so you can see it up above. but  here's where the specific corrections were:

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
