Tips

  • Give a midway mix to ensure even cooking and cheese incorporation, and to prevent burning on the bottom.
  • For an even richer dish, use heavy cream or half and half instead of milk.
  • You can cook your own bacon instead of using bacon bits.
  • Fresh garlic and fresh onions can be used instead of powder if preferred.
  • Season generously due to the large quantity of ingredients.
  • For a browned top, the crock pot insert can be placed in the oven after cooking.
