How to Make Baked Potato Casserole in a Slow Cooker

Step 1:

Start by peeling the potatoes and dicing them into 1-inch cubes. Place them in your slow cooker.

Step 2:

Add the chicken bouillon cubes, then pour water until the potatoes are submerged.

Step 3:

Cover with the lid and cook on high for 5 hours without opening the lid.

Step 4:

After 5 hours, drain the water off the potatoes, keeping the potatoes in the slow cooker.

Step 5:

Add the melted butter, then season with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until you get your desired texture. Alternatively, you can use a handheld mixer with 2 beaters to blend.

Add the sour cream, half of the cream cheese, half of the bacon, and half of the green onions. Stir until well combined.

Step 7:

Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and cover with the lid. Cook it on high for another 20 minutes.
