Recipe Notes
Hi. I just found this, and am going to try it this weekend. I cook in a mini (1.5qt) slow cooker, but I didn’t see what suave you are using to I can cut it down correctly. Could you please let me know what size you use? From being 6 servings I think I would cut it down by 2/3. Thanks! Looks so delicious!
I made this tonight, and it was amazing! I only cook in a mini crock pot, 1.5qt, so cut back on the recipe by half. Yes, it was a tight fit, but worth it. (I had too much of the cream cheese mixture). I didn’t know how to get a ricotta blend to taste great and melt perfectly. This was perfect: thank you! I’ll definitely be making this again.
