Different Types and Advice
If your family members are selective about food, you can change the seasonings to match their preferences. To make the taste less strong, use less garlic or switch to garlic powder. You can also put other vegetables such as colorful peppers, onions, or carrots in the slow cooker to have more options. For a fun variation, add some grated mozzarella on top in the final 30 minutes of baking. Have fun!
