This is what you will need:
- 2 green onions, chopped (I had non, so I left them out)
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 1 package (28 ounces) frozen O’Brien potatoes, thawed
- 2 cups 2% milk
- 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) reduced-fat reduced-sodium condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
- 6 turkey bacon strips, diced and cooked
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
This is how to make it:
In a small skillet, sauté onions in oil until tender. In a 5-qt. slow cooker, combine the potatoes, milk, soup and onion mixture. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until heated through. Top each serving with 2 tablespoons bacon and 1 tablespoon cheese.
How did we like it?
I loved it; I’m a big Potato person anyways and I could eat potatoes 24/7 in all shapes and sizes and variations. A few month ago, Publix had a huge sale on Hash Browns and this was the perfect recipe to use some of the bags we had in the freezer. It was so simple and to be honest we only cooked it for about 4 hrs on high and it was done and yummy. It was so yummy that I didn’t had time to take a picture, we all ate it up in no time. ( Sorry L ). We had fresh French bread and a salad with it… soo yummy and a simple, quick and cheap dinner…..
I’m always looking for a yummy new Crockpot recipe, would love to hear yours ….
Michelle Ayers says
I am a potato person too! So I am sure that this will be a good recipe!
Amber says
This sounds yummy – and turkey bacon is a great low-fat alternative that tastes just as good!
Denise S says
My husband is so picky and this sounds just like his style with the bacon and cheese. I can’t wait to try this one, thanks!
mausekind says
it really was yummy.. I LOVED it, too 🙂 let us know how it turned out

Whenever I cook anything in the crockpot, I always use the Reynolds SlowCooker Liners – they fit both oval & round Crockpots from 3 to 6.5 quarts. You just have to be gentle when stirring or serving (if you serve directly from the Crockpot) so that you don’t puncture the plastic bag. The liners make clean-up a breeze!
Your recipe for the Loaded Hash Brown Soup sounds yummy. I need to go to the grocery store today, so I will be picking up the ingredients to make this and fixing it sometime this week.
mausekind says
Carole… Thanks for the tip… funny thing I have a few boxes of those liners… and … always forget to use them… thanks for reminding me.. they do make cleanup a breeze…. *memo to self… use the liners!!*
Cole says
This seems so easy! I’d probably lay off the onions a bit as I’m not a huge fan, though.
mausekind says
It is easy.. and the nice part you can adapt is so easily 🙂
Kelly K. says
This sounds like something my whole family would actually enjoy, yummy!!
Dawn Hecke says
This sounds good,and would be good in my household because it’s gluten free. 🙂
Sarah L says
This does look yummy. I had to laugh at the post listings because it looks like you use undiluted bacon.
Katharina says
I can’t even remember how long it’s been that my husband’s been saying he’s hungry for homemade potato soup. I never saw a recipe that sounded very appealing to me… until now. Seriously, I already buy the O’Briens and we like recipes with cream soups, bacon, and cheese! This sounds so wonderful.

This looks good! I am going to try this sometime. I really should use my crock pot more often. I forget how easy it is to just put it on and forget about it!

I love the crockpot, soo easy to use and you don’t have to worry about dinner… you can go and have fun or like me go off to work..lol and dinner is done when you get home….:-)
barbara wright says
My daughter will eat ANYTHING that has hash browns in it – I’ll have to make this!
My favorite crockpot recipe is a jar of apricot or peach jam, an envelope of onion soup mix, 1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce and a pork loin. Everybody I’ve ever made it for raves about it and wants the recipe.
CrazyMom says
Barbara.. this sure sounds yummy..I need to try this; thanks for letting me know I love to get new ideas 🙂
