Notes
General
You can use any oven safe dish to bake. I usually use a small cast iron pan or a small ceramic baking dish.
Make Ahead: Mix all of the ingredients up to the day before, and store in the refrigerator. Pop it in the oven 30 minutes before you are ready to serve.
Crockpot Directions
It won't have the crispy cheese topping, but it will still taste glorious.
- Mix ingredients the same (plus the cheese topping) and add to the slow cooker over low heat. Heat until the cheese has melted, stirring every 15 minutes; about 1 hour.
- Once the cheese has melted, set the slow-cooker to warm and stir about every 15 minutes.
