We tried this, this evening. Put ingredients in crockpot at 3:30, stirred at 5:15, it was basically done at 6:00, then we put in some leftover lobster with the parm, turned it down to low and cooked about 15 more minutes, and then turned it off, as the rest of the meal wasn't ready yet. We probably cooked it a bit too long, as it was a bit too thick, so we put some more chicken broth in, and some more butter. When it was cooking I thought that the smell of the garlic seemed a bit over the top, but when we actually tasted it, the garlic was so overwhelming, it was hard to taste anything else. The consistency was fine, it was done, and creamy, but the garlic was so overpowering, that was all we could taste. ...and this from someone who rarely has any issue with garlic. So, put less garlic in.. The method was fine, no trouble whatsoever, but the garlic was just way too much.
