This is excellent! Melt in your mouth loaded slow cooker potatoes – gooey and bursting with amazing flavours. My new-found side dish that easily became my family’s favourite. With bacon, melted cheese, garlic, and Italian seasonings, this takes no-fuss to make!
This makes the best comfort food. It’s gooey, topped with crunchy bacon, and loaded with fluffy taters. Creamy with a hint of herbs, and cheesy. Surely you can never say no to this.
My kids love and enjoy this. It’s almost every day that they ask for this loaded potatoes. Good thing, it’s cooked in a slow cooker so I don’t need to spend forever in the kitchen. This is ultimately perfect for busy days and busy moms like me.
