4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Fall Tailgate Magic

Ingredients:

Step-By-Step Directions:

1. Prep slow cooker: Lightly coat the inside of your slow cooker insert with nonstick cooking spray or a little oil.

2. Combine ingredients: Add the frozen shoestring potatoes, condensed cream of chicken soup, 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, and the cooked bacon pieces to the slow cooker.

3. Mix well: Stir all ingredients together thoroughly until the potatoes are evenly coated and everything is well distributed.

4. Slow cook: Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours (stirring once halfway through if convenient) until the potatoes are tender and the mixture is hot and bubbly.

5. Top and melt: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese across the top, cover again, and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is completely melted. Serve hot directly from the slow cooker.
