Notes

*nutritional info does not include toppings.
For Slow Cooker Method:
If you have an oven-proof bowl that fits in your crockpot, a water bath is a great method to use to prevent any burned edges if you end up sleeping in. Simply place the bowl in your crockpot, fill the crockpot (outside of the bowl) about halfway with water, and pour your ingredients into the dry bowl. It cooks the food a little more gently.
