Halving recipes for slow cookers?!
Normally, I'd just make the whole thing and use the other half as leftovers, but a 4 lb roast won't fit in my crock pot.
Anyone have experience with this sort of thing?
Answers:
I've found the best way to 'adjust' for crockpot recipes is to find others with similar cuts/sizes of meat then do the adjusting.
Here's one for 2 lb roast, with these measurements you can adapt your recipe for ingredients:
