Instructions

1

Grease the slow cooker

Prepare your slow cooker by lightly greasing the inside with butter or cooking spray.

This prevents the casserole from sticking and makes cleanup easier.

Mix the ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, flour, salt, and black pepper until well mixed.

Ensure the spinach is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
