Crock Pot Cheesy Bacon Potatoes

By lisapearce

Ingredients

• 1/4 pound bacon, diced – I bake it first in the oven so that it is “done” and browned then I dice it and place in the crock pot.
• 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
• 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced (or if you use a new potato or Yukon gold then halve)
• 1/2 pound cheddar cheese, thinly sliced (shredded is fine)
• salt and pepper
• butter
• Green Onions (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Line crock pot with foil, leaving enough to cover the potatoes when finished – this will help to not stick and to steam the potatoes – also to keep them from getting discolored or mushy.
Layer 1/2 of the bacon, onions and potatoes in the crock pot.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and dot with (real) butter.
Repeat with the OTHER 1/2 of bacon, onions, potatoes and cheese. Dot with butter and cover with foil.
Cover with the lid and cook on low for up to 6 hours (check at 4 hours – depending on your crock pot).
Add cheese for the last 20 – 30 minutes and enjoy!
