Instructions
- First, grease the inside of your slow cooker. Trust me, it makes cleanup so much easier.
- Peel and dice the potatoes, place them in the bottom of slow cooker. You could also use a bag of cubed, frozen hash browns if you hate peeling potatoes or to save on time.
- In a large skillet brown the ground beef and onion together. Drain the grease. Layer the cooked ground beef and onion mixture over top of the potatoes. Add the freshly minced garlic on top.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, chicken bouillon, MSG and cream of mushroom soup. Pour this over the ingredients already in your slow cooker. If you feel you need more liquid, add a bit of water. Cook on low for 4–5 hours, occasionally stirring, until potatoes are cooked through and break apart easily. Careful not to cook too long or they’ll turn to mush. Keep a close eye on the liquid level, adding more if needed.
- In a skillet brown the bacon. Drain it on a paper towel and then crumble it into pieces. Add the bacon, Velveeta cheese, cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese into the soup. Mix it well to incorporate it all together.
- Cook this on low an additional 30 minutes until you see the cheese is fully melted. Ladle into bowls and enjoy!
