What size crock pot is this recipe for?
Hi Taylor, thanks for the question. As a rule of thumb, for a slow cooker to crock properly it needs to be 1/2 – 2/3 full. With that said I would use a 3 1/2 – 4 quart slow cooker for this recipe. Hope this helps, and Happy Crocking!
Thank you! It is especially helpful when you specify what size slow cooker. Mine is only 3.5 quarts so I’m always wondering if a recipe will work.
What would you recommend substituting cottage cheese with when making creamed spinach
Hi Melissa for 1 cup of cottage cheese, you can substitute 1 cup farmer’s cheese OR 1 cup ricotta cheese! Hope this helps and Happy Crocking!
Can you use fresh spinach instead of frozen?
Hi Tracy if you use fresh spinach, I would not cook for the first hour on High, but would only crock for the full 4 hours on low. Thanks for the question, and Happy Crocking!
What about with goat cheese? Hmm….
Sounds YUMMY Jane!
Going to try this, but will add a pinch or two of nutmeg!
Add a little Texas Pete and I’m all in!! Thanks!! Pinning it!!
What can be used instead of Havarti cheese? I’ve never heard of that.
Hi Vicky, You can use another cheese of your choice if you would like. Havarti is a white smooth cheese, so if you want to replace it you definitely can. I encourage my readers to make all the recipes their own. Enjoy and Happy Crocking!
I will try with Ricotta cheese
Could I substitute 8 oz. cream cheese for the Havarti?
Pat I love it when you make a recipe your own. I’m sure it would fast fine. Happy Crocking!
Just got a 9×13 crockpot. Can this recipe work in this size ?
What about the recipe for green beans?
Either one will work Renate! Love my casserole crock! Happy Crocking!
I accidentally cooked the spinach first. Would you reduce cook time or start over? Can’t wait to try this!
Sorry I missed your question, but I am sure you figured this all out, please post back so others can see your results! We all make mistakes in cooking and sometimes it teaches us a new way of doing things! Happy Crocking and Happy Holidays!
