Ingredients
 

  • 32 ounces frozen diced potatoes
  • 1 10.5 ounce cream of chicken soup
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon EACH garlic salt, garlic powder, and onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheese, divided
  • 1 cup bacon, cooked, chopped

Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Spray a crock pot with cooking spray or add a liner.
  • Add your frozen potatoes to the pot and top with cream of chicken soup, sour cream, butter, spices and half of your cheese.
  • Cook on low for 6 hours* and stir once. You can also cook on high for 2 hours; just stir once during cooking. You'll know the potatoes are done when they are fork-tender and mash easily on the side of the pot.
  • Stir in half of the bacon right before serving. Top the dish with the rest of the cheese and bacon. Put the lid on the slow cooker for 5 additional minutes to melt the cheese and serve.

Notes

Homemade Cream of Soup:To make a homemade or gluten free cream of soup melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a sauce pan. When the butter is completely melted stir in 2 tablespoons flour or gluten free flour. Stir until the flour mixture makes a paste that begins to turn brown. This will take 2-3 minutes. Add 11 ounces of good quality chicken stock and stir until the mixture is thick. This will take 5-6 minutes.
*All slow cookers cook at different temperatures. If you know yours tends to cook higher you will need to reduce the cooking time. I have one that I feel cooks at a true low temperature and 6 hours is perfect. I have another that cooks much hotter (it will bring soup to a simmer on low) and it cooks this casserole in just 3 hours on low. Consider how your individual slow cooker tends to lean and cook accordinly.
