Notes
*The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of ¾ -1 cup (makes 10-12 cups total). Actual calories will vary.
*For more information, tips, and answers to frequently asked questions, please refer to the post.
*We don't recommend double or tripling this recipe. As written, it takes up more than half the space in a 7-quart slow cooker, so doubling the recipe will cause it to be overfull.
*Any of the spices and sugar can be adjusted to suit your tastes. As written, this casserole smells similar to a pumpkin pie and tastes very sweet, like a dessert. If you want something a little less sweet, feel free to play around with the sweetener amounts.
