INGREDIENTS

  • Meat

    • 🥓 9 slices bacon

  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 1 onion, finely diced
    • 🥔 7 potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • Spices and Seasonings

    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Liquid

    • 3 cups vegetable broth
    • 2 cups half-and-half

  • Other

    • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 3 ¼ cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend, divided
    • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh chives, or to taste

STEPS

1

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; reserve drippings in the pan. Crumble 6 strips of bacon, saving 3 for garnish.

2

Heat bacon drippings over medium-high heat. Cook onion in the hot drippings until soft, about 5 minutes.

3

Transfer potatoes, crumbled bacon, onions, and garlic powder to a slow cooker. Pour broth over the top. Cook on Low until potatoes are tender, about 6 hours.

4

Whisk half-and-half and flour together in a bowl. Add to the slow cooker and whisk to mash up some of the potatoes. Stir in 3 cups of Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend. Mix until cheese is melted and fully incorporated.

5

Crumble remaining bacon. Top with remaining cheese, crumbled bacon, and chives before serving.
