Can this be made in a slow cooker?
Lara
It can! I would just use pre-cooked bacon and then do 6-7 hours on low.
Sarab
This was my first ever meal made with my instant pot! One thing to any new instant pot users - the recipe says it only takes 30 minutes to cook but between the amount of time it took to saute the bacon, and the time it took to heat up for cooking the soup, it's been well over an hour! Currently waiting for it to naturally depressurize. Can't wait to taste it!
