Notes
Store leftover casserole in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Freezing is optional for up to 3 months, but the texture may soften slightly as the chips defrost.
Reheat in the microwave or oven until heated through and the cheese is bubbly.
Shred cheese from the block for the best melting.
Stir gently after cooking and before serving if needed.
If you use a larger slow cooker, reduce the cooking time.
For make-ahead freezer prep, add all ingredients to a freezer bag, remove excess air, freeze for up to 3 months, and thaw in the fridge before cooking.
