I'M NOT SURE WHAT SIZE MY CROCKPOT IS, IT IS THE SMALLER OVAL HAMILTON BEACH MACHINE.

Steps:

1. Mix the ingredients in the crockpot. Since I was here to keep an eye on the cooking food, I set the crockpot on high [my old crockpot's high setting isn't as hot as other machines I've had].
2. Check the cooking process in half hour intervals and stir the contents in the crockpot so the cheese is mixing well as the food cooks.
3. Once the crockpot's cheese is well blended and food is hot, about the 2-3 hour mark, turn the crockpot down to keep warm or low setting. Let food simmer until you are ready to serve.
