    Slow Cooker Cheesy Garlic Bacon Potatoes Recipe

    If you like baked potatoes, you are sure to LOVE this easy cheesy garlic bacon potato recipe! Although I am a huge fan of garlic, these aren't overly garlicky. They have just a hint and if you really like garlic, I'd add an additional teaspoon of garlic powder or maybe a teaspoon of minced garlic.

    I was a bit leery on the small amount of  the water the recipe called for, but it was perfect.

    I decided to cook this recipe as a side dish for an indoor date night to go along with some nice NY strip steaks as my partner is a total steak guy (as most men are). He usually orders a loaded baked potato while we dine out, so I thought this recipe would be absolutely perfect! It has the cheese, the bacon, the onion and of coarse the potato!

    What more could I ask for? The preparation time was about 15 minutes tops, so I could take my time getting ready for our date night. Figuring out what to wear takes forever, am I right ladies?

    Since the steak was quite expensive, this recipe was so very affordable! I only spent $7 making it and it is filling and I knew there would be leftovers! I opted to cook it for the 3 ½ hours versus the longer cooking time as I had a a million other things to do that day.

    I threw the steaks on the indoor grill about 15 minutes before this recipe was done, it worked out to be the perfect timing!

    As I anxiously waited for his arrival, I set the table and finished some last minute details, fresh flowers in a vase always sets the mood. I paired this meal with a nice Merlot.

    Once he arrived, he stepped inside and his eyes lit up as I was decked to the nine and told me how pretty I looked. The VERY NEXT THING that came out of his mouth was "What is that potato dish"?

    Smart man, he knew he should probably compliment me first ha ha. He LOVED this recipe and went so far as to tell me baked potatoes had nothing on this dish!

    So Cheesy Garlic Bacon Potatoes

    It is so cheesy and flavorful, every single bite had a little bit of each ingredient. I really love the layering method, as it is sure to deliver each component in every bite. He waited about 30 minutes to digest and actually went back for another large portion of this.

    Let's just say he didn't save any room for dessert (it's a good thing because I had forgotten to buy the pie I had intended to get). 

    I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did and please feel free to share with others!

    Slow Cooker Cheesy Garlic Bacon Potatoes Recipe

    I know that many people still like to print out recipes and keep them in a recipe binder, or simply have the printed recipe sitting in front of them when it comes time to cook! 

    Sometimes it is just easier to go off a recipe when it is printed right in front of you. Who wants to swipe their screen on their phone or tablet when their hands are greasy? So I love offering this option as well!

      I have a question about the bacon. You say to cook it beforehand, but in the crockpot pictures where you are layering the ingredients, that bacon looks raw. Is it okay to start with uncooked bacon, as it will definitely cook in the crock pot?

      This recipe looks delicious, and I can't wait to try it!

      10 minute prep time to do all that chopping, cook the bacon, assemble in the pot???? Let's get real - be realistic about prep time for those who want to try your recipes.

      Yes, you can use raw bacon! I have made the recipe post ways, it works well even with raw bacon.
