says:I made this using a few changes to the ingredients and used spicy ranch dressing. I had a few pieces that ended up burning even though I stirred it every 30 minutes really good. Any suggestions to prevent this? Would a crock pot bag help?

says:I don’t see an amount given for the seasoning so I’m wondering how much to add. Thanks!
