Crock Pot Cheesy Potatoes

These crock pot cheesy potatoes are an easy side dish using simple ingredients that require just 10 minutes of prep time!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 3 hours
Total Time 3 hours 10 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 1 (32 ounce) package frozen hash brown potatoes diced or shredded
  • 1 cup sour cream OR sour cream French onion dip
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • ⅔ cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 ½ cups (10 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided - reserve ½ cup (2 ounces) for topping
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  • Spray the insert of your slow cooker with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Stir together the frozen potatoes, sour cream (or sour cream French onion dip), cream of chicken soup, onion, 2 cups (8 ounces) of the shredded cheese (refrigerate the remaining ½ cup of cheese while the potatoes are cooking), salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large mixing bowl until combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to your slow cooker (I used a 6-quart crock pot). Cover and cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours or on high heat for 2 to 3 hours, or until potatoes are fork-tender and cheese is melted.
  • Turn off your slow cooker, remove the lid, and sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup (2 ounces) of shredded cheese. Cover and allow the cheese to melt (approximately 5 minutes).

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your personal preference.
  • Storage:  Once cooled, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
