Notes

Notes:
*If you are preparing gluten free, you must look for a brand that certifies that it is gluten free. Many manufactures also house gluten ingredients in their factory or warehouse, so read the labels carefully.
**Any 'milk' can be used, such as almond milk, coconut milk, etc. You could simply use all water. Although, I like to use half water and half milk.
***If cooking for 6 hours, use 6 cups of liquid. If cooking for 8 hours or more, use 8 cups of liquid.
