Made this for a company potluck. Browned the meat at home, mixed the dry ingredients and added them to the browned meat. Combined the meat mixture with the milk/egg and corn meal at work and plugged in the crock pot. Four hours later we celebrated birthdays. The crock pot was scrapped clean. Best rating I could have gotten. Everyone raved at how godd it was.
