You'll be a crowd favorite with these easy Crockpot Cheesy Ranch Potatoes. This dish has everything you love about a hash brown casserole, but made even easier!
Pour the frozen potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Add the cream of soup, sour cream, jalapenos (if using), cubed butter, 1 cup shredded cheddar, and seasonings. Stir the mixture until well combined.
Cover and cook on low 6 hours* or high for 2 hours, stirring once during cook time.
When ready to serve add half of the bacon and stir. Top the potatoes with the remaining cheese and bacon. Place the lid on the potatoes 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Serve garnished with chives if desired!
Notes
*All slow cookers cook at different temperatures. If you know yours tends to cook higher you will need to reduce the cooking time. I have one that I feel cooks at a true low temperature and 6 hours is perfect. I have another that cooks much hotter (it will bring soup to a simmer on low) and it cooks this casserole in just 3 hours on low. Consider how your individual slow cooker tends to lean and cook accordinly.
