Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces frozen diced hash brown potatoes
- 10.5 ounces condensed nacho cheese soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup milk
- 4 ounces diced green chilies
- 0.5 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of the crock pot using non-stick cooking spray or a thin layer of butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the nacho cheese soup, sour cream, cream cheese, milk, and diced green chilies. Whisk the mixture until smooth and well combined.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then mix in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Reserve the remaining 0.5 cup of cheese for the topping.
Add the frozen diced hash brown potatoes to the bowl and gently fold them into the cheese mixture until evenly coated.
Pour the potato and cheese mixture into the prepared crock pot, spreading it out into an even layer.
Sprinkle the reserved 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbling.
During the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the cooked and crumbled bacon over the top of the casserole.
Before serving, garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
