    Bacon Cheese Potatoes cooked in the crock pot until they are fork tender, cheesy and delicious!  Oh and there's bacon too!


    The other day I mentioned on my Walking on Sunshine Facebook page that I was trying a new recipe for Bacon Cheese Potatoes for dinner.  I was pretty excited about it and shared with everyone a picture as a tease for today's post. AND a lot of my friends and followers started getting excited as well.

    And I'm still pretty excited because it turned out really good.  Actually better than good.  And it was so easy and you make these potatoes in your CROCK POT.

    You can either pre-cook your bacon or put it in raw. I have tried it both ways and like it better pre-cooked. I always cook my bacon in the oven...less mess!

     

    Bacon Cheese Potatoes Recipe

    Start layering everything in the crock pot, beginning with the potatoes, then the bacon and cheese, sprinkling with salt and pepper in between each layer.

    Cover with aluminum foil and then cover with the lid to your crock pot.  Cook on low for 4 to 6  hours or on high for 2 to 4 hours.

    My crock pot cooks really fast, so after around 3 hours the potatoes were fork tender, hot and steamy.

    Transfer the potatoes from the crock pot to a serving dish, top with fresh parsley or chopped green onions and get ready to enjoy the most DELICIOUS potato casserole ever.

    I was really skeptical with this recipe.  I did not think it would work and I will be making this again soon.  I can see making this for a large group of people.

    Ingredients
    • ¼ pound bacon diced
    • ½ medium onion; sliced
    • 4 medium red potatoes thinly sliced
    • ½ pound grated cheddar cheese
    • salt and pepper; to taste
    • 2 to 4 TBS butter
    Instructions
    1. Begin by lining your crock pot with aluminum foil. I sprayed my crock pot liner with non-stick cooking spray first and then lined it with the aluminum foil.
    2. Slice the potatoes.
    3. Dice the bacon, if you are adding it raw, OR dice the pre-cooked bacon.
    4. Start layering everything in the crock pot, beginning with the potatoes, then the bacon and cheese, sprinkling with salt and pepper; I was able to get three layers.
    5. Dot the top layer with the 2 tbs. of butter.
    6. Cover with another piece of foil AND THEN THE CROCK POT LID and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 4 hours.

    Recipe Notes
    1. You can either pre-cook your bacon or put it in raw. I have tried it both ways and like it better pre-cooked. I always cook my bacon in the oven...less mess!
    2. My crock pot cooks really fast and I always check after 2 hours and if the potatoes are fork tender, I know they're ready.

      This recipe looks so interesting and isn’t your run of the mill potato recipe. And how can you go wrong with cheese and bacon! That’s exactly what I’m looking for in my Link Party that just opened a few minutes ago. This week on Future Expat’s Required Ingredient Link Party, we are featuring potato recipes. I hope you’ll come link up this one and any others you think others will like!

      Lois,

      Just how did you know that I was looking for a new side dish? Imagine these with BBQ spareribs!?! I read a recipe yesterday for a rub for meat and I plan on trying it tommorrow and grilling the pork.
      Favorite piece of clothing - I have white knit legging pants that I have had for nearly ten years. They are awesome and unless they become unwearable I am NOT getting rid of them. They are light weight and thin and feel like you are wearing nearly nothing but your legs don't get cold and they don't bind and or pinch and I can sleep in them and wear them around to house (only) to do chores or watch TV or... My daughter likes them also and it is becoming a battle as to who gets them first.
      Love the hand sanitizer sign and want to make one for the restroom at church.
      Hope all is well and you are finally rid of what ever your stomache problem was.

      Maureen

      This looks perfect...I adore using my crockpot...love having a meal ready at the end of the day when I'm about ready to drop.
      Supper is my most difficult meal; I'm always exhausted and settle for a PB&J sandwich or cheese & cracker.

      I just unthawed some bacon... I am going to have to make these tomorrow. My Hubs loves potatoes and bacon, but I have never made them together for him. Thanks for the recipe

      Looks scrumptious! I'm sure Kevin would love it...but I'm not sure why the aluminum foil is needed. ?
