How to Make Slow Cooked Bacon Cheese Potatoes

  1. Line your slow cooker with foil, leaving enough overhang to easily cover the potatoes at the end.
  2. In the slow cooker, create the first layer: half of the bacon, half of the chopped onions, half of the potatoes, and half of the shredded cheese. Season generously with salt and pepper. Dot with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  3. Repeat layer 2: the remaining bacon, onions, potatoes, and cheese. Season again with salt and pepper. Dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  4. Cover the slow cooker with the overhanging foil, sealing tightly.
  5. Cook on low for 10-12 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. **Oven Alternative:** Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the layered potatoes in an oven-safe dish, cover tightly with foil, and bake for approximately 60-75 minutes, or until tender and bubbly.
