I’ve been giving my crockpot a workout the last couple of weeks. It’s helping me a lot to get dinner on the table at an earlier time. Honestly, we usually eat kind of late – around 7 pm, but with 3 kids in an assortment of sports, activities, andย practices, it’s really important that I feed my family earlier right now. I’ve tried out a lot of different recipes recently, and this one, Scalloped Potatoes and Bacon for Slow Cookers, is a winner!

Notes
I won this Better Than Bouillon Mushroom Base
Do you have a favorite crockpot recipe? I’d love to hear! My crock pot is one of my favorite kitchen appliances.
I call this some serious comfort food! Looks SO good and a dish I would love to have sitting in front of me right now. Hope you had a great Mother’s Day!
If using the cream of mushroom soup, what are the steps for that? Do you add flour and still cook it on low heat? or just pour the can in the crock pot? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I just wanted to know in case I’m pressed for time and have a can already on hand.
Not a dumb question, April. I have not made this particular recipe using canned soup, but I think you should just add the can directly to the crock pot. Omit the flour and the low heat. You might need more than one can – maybe 1 1/2 or 2. That’s your call based on how creamy you like your scalloped potatoes. Good luck! ๐
