Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 (26 oz) bags frozen O’Brien potatoes with onions and peppers
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can Campbell’s cream of potato soup
  • 8 oz sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen O’Brien potatoes with onions and peppers into the slow cooker. Top evenly with the can of cream of potato soup, sour cream, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir gently to fully combine all ingredients.
  2. Cook on High: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set the cooker to high heat. Allow it to cook for 2 to 3 hours, letting the potatoes soften and flavors meld together.
  3. Add Cheese and Finish Cooking: After the initial cooking time, mix in half of the shredded cheddar cheese to the potato mixture. Then sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly on top. Cover and continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes or until the cheese has completely melted and become bubbly.
  4. Serve Warm: Carefully remove the lid and stir slightly before serving. Enjoy this creamy, cheesy potato dish warm as a comforting side or a satisfying main.

Notes

  • For a thicker consistency, cook an additional 10-15 minutes uncovered to evaporate excess moisture.
  • Feel free to add cooked bacon bits or chopped green onions for extra flavor.
  • If you prefer spicier potatoes, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika along with the seasonings.
  • Use sharp cheddar cheese for a more pronounced cheesy flavor.
  • Keep the slow cooker on warm if serving later to maintain temperature without overcooking.
