Most of the advice about refilling the system is based on doing it quickly and getting the car on it's way.
If you have the time.....
I've had excellent results with just filling the system with the vent open then starting the motor with the cap loose and adding coolant as it warms up to keep the tank full. Once the level stabilizes, I bring the tank up to the full line and close the cap and vent and let the car idle until the radiator fans run. Then I let it cool over night. In the morning if the tank is not completely empty, I just top it off and it's good to go.
If it's empty, I repeat the process.
