Simplicity is what we are looking at these days and in the summertime, well technically all year round we adore our crockpot and crockpot recipes are ones we make probably more often than anything else.
We love meals that we can just throw in something, set the temp and forget about it until it’s done. This cheesy potato recipe is the perfect one to do that with! Hands down the best!

You really cant get any more simple with the steps of this recipe in all honesty!

- Set slow cooker on low and cook for 4 hours.
- Remove lid and sprinkle with remaining cheese and cover for 15 minutes until cheese is melted.
CAN YOU MAKE THIS RECIPE IN THE OVEN?
100% yes you can. We do make this in the oven from time to time, but the crockpot has been one of my favorite ways to make it when we are short on time around dinnertime and we want something that is ready to go when we are.
To make it in the oven you do all the same steps as you would make it in the crockpot. You add all your cheese into mixture instead of separating it out.
You bake at covered with tinfoil at 350 for about 40-45 minutes removing the foil in the last 10-15 minutes of baking to get that cheese nice and bubbly.
So with this cheesy potato casserole recipe you can make it in the crockpot or in the oven, whichever way is easiest for you.
I really like to do the crockpot because the cheese on top in there gets really gooey and I adore gooey cheese so this is my preferred method!

I make this over and over. People love it. Can I get suggestions on how to change it for fun. I’m thinking adding green/red/orange peppers? Different spices to add some spiciness? Anyone have suggestions?

Have you ever doubled the recipe? Do you need to alter cook time?
Denise
Nope, it will cook the same. Simply stir so often after about an hour. I just made them for work. Just know to lower temperature once close to being done. By the time I left work, they were overcooked (even turning to low). They were still tasty but close to mashed potatoes. texture. My son still gobbled up the leftovers.
This recipe is so easy, and people will praise you for the hard work making it. 🙂
