  1. I found this recipe through my ziplist app. I was intrigued by bacon in a slow cooker recipe and had to try it. I almost got scared off when I reread the ranch dressing and teriyaki ingredients—but it was so good!! Oh my. I used frozen chicken tenders and cooked on high for 3 hrs then broke them up into smaller almost bite sized pieces before adding the cheese. The flavor was everywhere. I ended up making baked potatoes as what I thought would be a side but I tried the chicken on top and that became the meal. No need for sour cream on the potato—just the chicken bacon recipe. It was amazing. So impressed. Especially for such a simple recipe (I made extra bacon a few days prior when making fried rice). Thanks!

    Hi, can you also show how all your future recipes for crocks can also be converted to use in Instant Pots as well, please? Because I have & use both depending on my time! TY LizMoranCoyne

  3. Teriyaki has soy sauce which I’m allergic to. Is there a substitute I could use?
