"I love this recipe that I found on Pinterest! Remember if you like this post then “Pin It” – it is a great way to bookmark the ideas, recipes, DIY, crafts and tips that will help you later!
My family loves potatoes and since I found out I have Celiac Disease I use them as a staple in our house. I love that this recipe is naturally Gluten Free (just be sure your ingredients are). I personally use hormel bacon (Natural).
Note: I have updated this recipe from the original post several times from tips from readers and my own experience. It originally said to cook for 8 to 10 hours and I find cooking it 4 to 6 is better. Using the foil is a MUST. I also fully cook the bacon and add the cheese at the end. Hope it helps!"
Crockpot Bacon Cheese Potatoes
Prep time: 30 mins
Cook time: 6 hours
Total time: 6 hours 30 mins
Serves: 6
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)
Instructions
1.Line crockpot 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.
2.Layer half each of the bacon, onions and potatoes in the crockpot.
3.Season to taste with salt and pepper and dot with (real) butter.
4.Repeat layers of bacon, onions, potatoes and cheese. Dot with butter.
5.Cover with remaining foil.
6.Cover and cook on low for up to 6 hours (check at 4 hours – depending on your crock pot).
7.Add cheese for the last 20 – 30 minutes and enjoy!
