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

Bacon Cheese Potatoes made in the Crock Pot | Side Dish Recipe (1)

The other day I mentioned on myWalking on Sunshine Facebook pagethat I was trying a new recipe forBacon Cheese Potatoes for dinner. I was pretty excited about it and shared with everyonea 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 yourCROCK 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. Cookon lowfor 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 toa serving dish, top with fresh parsley or chopped green onions and get ready to enjoy themost 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.

Bacon Cheese Potatoes

Yield: 4 servings

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 4 hours

Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes

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

Ingredients

¼ pound bacon, diced
½ medium onion, sliced
4 medium red potatoes, thinly sliced
½ pound grated cheddar cheese
salt & pepper, to taste
2 - 4 tablespoons butter

Instructions

Begin by lining your crock pot with aluminum foil. I sprayed my crock pot with non-stick cooking spray and then lined it with the aluminum foil.
Slice the potatoes.
Dice the bacon, if you are adding it raw, OR dice the pre-cooked bacon.
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.
Dot the top layer with 2 tablespoons of butter.
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.

Notes

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