Tips

  • For accurate serving sizes, weigh your empty slow cooker before starting. Once done, weigh it again and subtract the initial weight to get the total recipe weight. Divide this by 10 for the exact serving size weight.
  • Store everything frozen. To reheat, microwave with 2-3 tablespoons of milk or water, cover with a paper towel, and microwave for 3-5 minutes until heated through. Add more liquid to reconstitute the sauce or increase creaminess.
  • Make sure to blend the cottage cheese for 2-3 minutes to ensure it’s completely smooth. Heating it slightly in the microwave can help with the process.
