Slow Cooked Bacon Cheese Potatoes

"Honestly don't know how I came be this recipe other than I printed it out because I thought it looked good and it gave the alternative of cooking in the oven. Please note the times I have put down are estimated and for the crock pot and not the oven,"

Reviews

  1. One of my favorite recipes. I like that it doesn't feel heavy with cream or milk. Can't wait to make it again.
     
  2. Cooked in my crockpot, this was an amazing recipe, full of flavour. I served this for lunch with crusty bread and salad and I have half left for another meal. I used baking parchment instead of foil to line my slow cooker and I also used sea salted French butter in the recipe. Made for make my recipe in the Aussie/Kiwi forum, thanks Pat for a little gem of a recipe! Karen/FT
     
  3. This is a new family favorite. Make the full recipe as the leftovers go quickly. Bake this in the oven at 395 degrees for 1 - 1/2 hours in an oblong glass baking dish or large cassarole dish.
     
  4. What wonderful potatoes!!! I made 1/2 of the recipe and since we were grilling out bacon-wrapped chicken, I just put these in a square foil/aluminum pan and then covered them in foil as you would do for the oven. They were cooked perfectly and loved all the flavors from the onion, cheese and bacon, so good!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for "For your Consideration" tag game.

  1. I cooked the bacon before adding it to the casserole, because I like it better crispy. I also topped it with sliced scallions right before serving for color.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
