Notes

To Make a Big Batch: If you're making this for a larger group, you can certainly double the recipe and cook it all in one slow cooker. Please note that it may need additional time in the slow cooker.

Use Regular Carrots: If you'd like to use regular carrots in place of the baby carrots, you certainly can. Be sure to peel them and cut them into about 2-inch long pieces. For the wider portions of the carrot, I recommend cutting them in half lengthwise so they all cook in about the same amount of time.
