  1. Has anyone tried cooking these on low for 8-10 hours? I don’t want to overcook them, but am hoping for a longer cook time so that they can be ready when I’m home from work.

  2. Assuming this is cooked on High?

    1. Yep, that direction is in step 6 🙂 I hope you love the recipe!

  3. How would you store leftovers and reheat?

    1. I store mine in a air tight container and then to reheat just pop them in the microwave for a minute
