- Generously grease the bottom and sides of a 6-Quart slow cooker.
- Layer ingredients in this order: onions, potatoes, cheese, bacon.
- Repeat twice to create a total of three layers.
- Season with salt and pepper and scatter pieces of butter over top.
- Cover with the lid, and Cook on Low for 4-6 hours.
NOTE: You can make this like baked potatoes, or sliced thin more like cheesy bacon sliced potatoes!
Happy Crocking!

Does the bacon really crisp up while cooking like the picture indicates? Or do you start with cooked bacon?
Hi Gina! Thanks for your question. Personally, I like my bacon a little softer, so I just add the un-cooked bacon in with the other ingredients. In the photo, we used already cooked bacon, and added it as a garnish to the finished dish. Use which method suits you best-it will still taste delicious! Happy Crocking!
I made these a couple or weeks ago and they were fantastic! However, my “slow” cooker seems to cook fast as I started them at 11am and they were don by 2pm. What brand cooker do you use that is so nice ad slow?
Hi Marcia! I’m glad you loved these! I prefer the Crock-Pot brand of slow cookers. Here’s a link to Crock-Pot’s slow cookers on Amazon. Make sure you get the right size for you. It should be 1/2-2/3 full when crocking. Hope this helps! http://amzn.to/1ipeDJf
If making the “sliced” version, how much time should it take? 10 hours seems excessive.
The sliced version should not take as long, so I would test them at about 8 hours, but it may take longer than the 8 hours. Each slow cooker will crock differently. Enjoy Michee and Happy Crocking!
