Notes

NOTES: This dish is best served hot and immediately.  If you wish to make it ahead of time, I suggest putting everything together the night before your event, and just dumping it into the crockpot the day of, or baking it the day of.  If you’re baking it right out of the fridge, add 10 minutes to *covered* cook time.

CROCKPOT INSTRUCTIONS: Place all ingredients into the crockpot (even the reserved cheese) and heat on low for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally. 
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS: Before serving, top with fresh cracked pepper, chopped green onions if desired.
