Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 3 1/2 cups chicken broth if using low sodium broth, add in 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large russet potatoes diced into bite sized pieces
  • 1 small white onion diced
  • 6 tbsp butter divided
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp chives chopped
  • 6 slices of bacon fried and chopped

Instructions

Directions:

  • Put the chicken broth, potatoes, onion, 2 tablespoons of butter and half of the cooked bacon in a crockpot. Cook on low for 4-6 hours until the potatoes are fork tender. Or cook on high for 2-3 hours.
  • When there is 30 minutes left, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan. Once melted, add the flour and whisk. Then add in the sour cream and heavy cream. Mix it all together, it will be thick.
  • Add the flour mixture and the 1 cup of cheddar cheese to the crockpot and stir to combine. Cook until the time is up, about 20 more minutes. Top with bacon bits, chives and more cheese.
