This Crock Pot Cheesy Potatoes with Bacon Recipe is so good as a nice comfort food side dish recipe for family dinner!

Why we love this Crock Pot Cheesy Potatoes with Bacon 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!

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