1 cup water
¼ cup diced onion
2 cloves minced garlic
28 oz chicken broth
¼ tsp pepper
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
7 slices of bacon, cooked and diced (reserve 2 sliced for toppings)
30 oz Shredded Hash Brown Potatoes
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
sour cream (garnish)
green onions (garnish)
10.75 oz Cream of Chicken Soup
1
In a slow cooker, combine potatoes, chicken broth, soup, onion, and pepper.
2
Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours. If your potatoes are still in big chunks you need to cook it longer. They will start falling apart when it's ready.
3
Add the cream cheese and cook 30 minutes or until cream cheese is melted, stirring occasionally, until combined.
4
Top with cheese, bacon, or sliced green onions if desired.
5
Serve hot with cheese, sour cream, bacon and green onions.
