I don’t know about you, but any recipe with cheese and bacon in it catches my eye! So I knew I definitely wanted to make these Crock Pot Cheesy Bacon Potatoesfrom Gooseberry Patch’s Busy-Day Slow Cooking!
Aunt Lou here.
Cris calls me the Potato Queen. If you have ever noticed, I make most of the potato dishes around here. The reason for that? I love potatoes. I think my love started as a kid when Momma would make the best boiled potatoes. From there, my love for potatoes couldn’t help but grow. And these Crock Pot Cheesy Bacon Potatoes just added to that love. Yum!

Crock Pot Cheesy Bacon Potatoes Notes:
- This would be a great recipe to double and take to a pitch-in (aka potluck). My guess is that you will receive many requests for the recipe!
- I used my newHamilton Beach Programmable Right Size Slow Cooker, who I have decided to name Allie because she is ALL in one. 😉 I love that I can choose to use her as a 2-quart, 4-quart or 6-quart slow cooker. For this particular recipe, I used her as a 4-quart, and it turned out great!
- Now the first time I made up these yummy Crock Pot Cheesy Bacon Potatoes, they weren’t quite tender at 8 hours, so I set them for a couple more hours and continued to run around like a chicken with my head cut off. I KNOW better! I have only made one other recipe in Allie, so we don’t have a history yet for me to just set her and go. I knew better. When I came back, the cheese was a bit past golden…aka burnt. So, I made it again and watched it more closely. This time, perfection. So learn from my mistakes people. Watch it closely the first time, that way you can enjoy it the first go-round instead of having to make it again…like me! 😉

Would it work to add chicken to this recipe?
Aunt Lou says
Hi Julie!I haven’t tried it, but if you do, I would use a softer potatoes instead of russets and cut the cooking time. If you cook chicken for 8-10 hours in the crock pot, it would probably dry out a bit. Let me know if you give it a try! Enjoy!

If you are having problems with getting the potatoes completely done, use hashbrowns instead. I use the shredded frozen hashbrowns, but you could probably use the cubed frozen ones too. Just layer them like you would with the recipie above for cheezie bacon potatoes. I make mine in the oven and put a homemade white sauce as one of the layers and ending with the white sauce on top. I use the medium thick white sauce. I believ you could can buy this ready made also. I also use velveeta instead of cheddar. You can use either. I just prefer Velveeta cheese in any cheese recipie.
