Check consistency:
After 2 hours, check the texture. If it’s too thick, stir in a bit more milk. If too thin, leave the lid off and cook for another 15–30 minutes.
Final seasoning:
Stir well, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed with more salt or pepper.
Keep warm:
If you’re not serving immediately, switch the crockpot to “warm” and cover until ready.
