Notes
Notes:
- For accurate “serving sizes” - weigh your empty slow cooker BEFORE starting anything. Once everything is done, weigh it again, and subtract out the “before” weight - this will give you the total weight of the finished recipe. Divide this by the # of servings (11 in this case) to get the exact serving size weight
- Store everything frozen - no need to thaw, just toss in the microwave with 2-3 tablespoons of milk or water, cover with a paper towel, microwave for 3-4 mins, mix, then microwave another 1-2 minutes. Add more liquid to reconstitute the sauce/increase creaminess
- Make sure to blend the cottage cheese for 2-3 minutes to ensure it’s completely smooth all the way through - heating up slightly in the microwave can help with the process
