This was pretty easy to put together the night before. We put the ingredients in the crockpot bowl the night before and put in the fridge. Then just popped it in the slow cooker in the morning and set the time.
This was GREAT!! We really loved it. And guess what....it is Gluten Free!! Which is really important at our house.
