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.
