Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Frozen shoestring potatoes | 1 (28–32-ounce) bag |
| Condensed cream of chicken soup | 1 (10.5-ounce) can |
| Shredded cheddar cheese, divided | 2 cups |
| Cooked bacon pieces | 1 cup |
Step-by-Step Directions
- Prepare the slow cooker: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.
- Add the ingredients: Place the frozen shoestring potatoes, condensed cream of chicken soup, 1½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese, and cooked bacon pieces into the slow cooker.
- Mix everything together: Stir thoroughly until the potatoes are coated with the creamy mixture and the bacon and cheese are evenly distributed.
- Cook until tender: Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, stirring halfway through if desired. Cook until the potatoes are tender and everything is heated through and bubbly.
- Finish with cheese: Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover and cook for another 10–15 minutes, until the cheese melts completely.
- Serve warm: Spoon directly from the slow cooker and enjoy this cheesy, bacon-filled comfort food while hot.
