Slow Cooker Cheesy Bacon Chicken & Taters

Delicious layers of chicken, bacon, cheese and potatoes cook to perfection in the slow cooker!

The original recipe for this came my way from Megan who is a member of my crock pot group on Facebook.

I liked the idea of this immediately because I adore chicken and all the other ingredients. Is there anyone who doesn’t like cheese and bacon?  Don’t think so LOL!

Simple ingredients

 

Since I had the shredded hash browns, I used those, but after tasting the results, I believe this would be MUCH better made with the tater tots or crispy crowns.  Reason being is that they are seasoned and have onion for added flavor. The shredded potatoes are just that–plain potatoes.

This is a good and filling family meal that contains real ingredients and nothing processed. It’s easy too because you set it and forget it. The only “work” is cutting the chicken up and dicing the bacon.

    Do you cook the bacon before you add it OR do you add it raw??????

    Do the tater tots go in frozen or thawed? Thanks!

    I used the shredded hashbrowns Anny and I actually thawed them overnite in the fridge. I think with tater tots, the best bet is to thaw although others who have made this haven't, but I'd still err on the side of caution and let them defrost.

    Can you double this recipe in the crock pop?

    Looks yummy. Can it be done in oven? No crockpot.

      I’m pretty sure it can! I’d just prepare it the same way as for crockpot–with the layers and all–in a 13 x 9 (I’m guessing at the size pan, so let your eye be the judge)–and bake at 350 for maybe an hour. I’d cover the casserole for at least 45 minutes of the baking time, then remove it the last 15 minutes or so, so it will crisp. I’d add more cheese at that point too.
