Crockpot Bacon Cheeseburger and Potato Soup #SP5

Official Contest Entry: Simply Potatoes 5Fix. I got this recipe when I went to a scrapbooking event. We were staying in a hotel room with a small kitchenette, and the group that I went with didn't want to spend a ton of money on eating out for every meal. Some of this was prepared ahead of time, but came out so delicious!
