Slow Cooker Bacon Cheese Potatoes

By pbaugatz

Ingredients

• 1/4 pound bacon, diced (you can cook it first if you like, but you don't have to)
• 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
• 4 medium potatoes, cut into large cubes
• 1/2 pound cheddar cheese, shredded
• salt and pepper
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• green onions, thinly sliced (optional- but they are so yummy)

Preparation

Step 1

Line slow cooker with foil, leaving enough overlap potatoes when finished (this will help the potatoes not to stick to the edges and to help them steam. It will also keep them from getting mushy.). Layer half each of the bacon, onions, potatoes and cheese in the slow cooker. Season to taste and dot with 1 Tablespoon of butter. Repeat layers of bacon, onions, potatoes and cheese. Dot with 1 Tablespoon of butter. Overlap with remaining foil. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours (or on high for 4 hours).
