## Tips

- For accurate serving sizes, weigh your empty slow cooker before starting, then weigh it again when finished. Subtract the 'before' weight to get the total weight and divide by the number of servings.
- Store servings frozen; reheat in the microwave for 3-5 minutes with a splash of milk or water, covered with a paper towel.
- Blend the cheese sauce for 2-3 minutes to ensure it is completely smooth.
- Heating the sauce slightly in the microwave can assist with the blending process.
