NOTES

*Be sure that the sauce in the slow cooker is hot before adding the cornstarch to the sauce. You need the sauce to be hot for the cornstarch to do its job. If the sauce is not hot, pour the sauce into a small saucepan, bring to a boil and add the cornstarch. Slowly whisk cornstarch into the sauce and let thicken. Pour sauce back into the slow cooker.
