Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package dry ranch seasoning packet
- 4 medium-sized potatoes or 6–8 small red or yellow potatoes
- 1 large onion (thinly sliced)
- ½ pound bacon
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- ½ cup sliced green onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange bacon slices on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 16 minutes until just done but not too crisp. Set aside.
- Line the slow cooker with aluminum foil, leaving enough overhang to wrap the potatoes. Spray the foil with cooking spray.
- Begin with a layer of half of the potatoes, followed by half of the bacon, green onions, onion slices, ranch seasoning, and cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with a final layer of cheese on top. Drizzle melted butter over the layers.
- Cover the potatoes with the overhanging foil, ensuring they are well wrapped to steam. Cook on low for 4-6 hours in the slow cooker.
- Remove the foil cover, sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheese over the potatoes, and let it melt. Garnish with fresh green onions if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
