However, we DO NOT recommend filling to the rim. As a rule, you should select recipes that yield 1 quart less than the listed capacity of your crock. For example, if your slow cooker is labeled as a 6-quart slow cooker, your best results will be achieved using recipes that yield 5 quarts or less. The following recipes list two ingredient amounts: one for medium crocks and one for large crocks. Amounts are given for 3 to 5 quart crocks OR 51⁄2 to 7-quart crocks. If you have a large crock, 7 quart for example, we do not recommend using the amounts listed for the smaller crocks. The recipe may overcook. 1 Dish Meals 8 Soups & Stews 9 Main Dishes 14 Side Dishes 19 Miscellaneous 21 1 Dish Meals Arroz con Pollo 3 to 5 qt 1 1 10 oz box 1 3⁄4 cup 1 1 51⁄2 to 7 qt 2 (3 pound) chickens, cut in pieces 1 (14.5 oz) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes 1 (16 oz) bag frozen peas 2 (14 oz) cans chicken broth 1 (12 oz) jar roasted red peppers, drained and cut in strips 2 (8 oz) boxes Spanish-style yellow rice mix 2 teaspoons garlic salt Combine all ingredients in crock.
