Tips that Will Ease Your Job!
- Prevent Sticking: Be generous when spraying the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Alternatively, use a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
- Potato Selection: Southern-style diced potatoes work best for this dish, but you can substitute with hash browns if preferred. If using fresh potatoes, dice them small and parboil to ensure they cook through.
- Mix Thoroughly: Ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed before cooking. This guarantees every bite is packed with cheesy, creamy goodness.
- Cheese Boost: For a deeper flavor, mix in half a cup of Parmesan or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for a smoky twist.
- Texture Tip: For a crispy topping, transfer the cooked casserole to a baking dish, sprinkle additional cheese on top, and broil for 5 minutes.
- Add-ins: Customize by adding cooked bacon bits, green onions, or sautéed onions and peppers to the mix for extra flavor.
