Preparation

Step 1

Put first 6 ingredients in crockpot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours. Make roux. (I have even done this ahead of time on nights that I will be working late. I leave it out, by the crockpot, with directions and viola, dinner is ready as soon as I'm home.) Melt butter in skillet. Add flour and cook while stirring for 1 minute. Add cream and sour cream. Stir with whisk to work out any lumps and continue until thickened, about 5 minutes. Mix roux into crockpot mixture and cook on low for additional 30 minutes. Serve with garnishes of choice.
