Okay… back to these amazing Slow Cooker Bacon and Ham Breakfast Potatoes.
Here’s what you’ll need: Potatoes obviously, bacon, ham, some veggies, and cheese.
This time I used Smithfield Hometown Original Bacon and Smithfield Anytime Favorites Diced Ham. I am very familiar with their bacon, but it was my first time trying the diced ham. I loved it. It’s convenient, versatile, and easy-to-use. Plus, it really cut down on my prep time, tastes delicious, and is available in over 20 different cuts and flavors
Until October 31st, you can help Smithfield and No Kid Hungry reach their goal by purchasing a Smithfield breakfast product – for every purchase Smithfield will donate enough for one meal to No Kid Hungry. To double your donation, post a picture of your Smithfield breakfast to your social channels (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) and tag it #breakfastpower and Smithfield will donate a second breakfast to No Kid Hungry.
Getting this potatoes dish going the night before doesn’t take too many steps. The only thing we need to prep is dicing the veggies and cooking the bacon to get rid of the grease.
Here are some variations you can apply to this recipe:
- Add sausage to turn them into the ultimate meat lover breakfast potatoes.
- Add a diced jalapeño to spice it up a little.
- Use frozen diced hash browns to save time.
- If you don’t want to use a canned soup simply cook a 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and 3 tablespoons flour until it forms a paste, then whisk 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar until smooth. Add this mixture to the potatoes instead of the canned cheddar soup.
There is just too much awesomeness bundled up in these potatoes.
Hope you guys love this one as much as we do.
Happy Cooking!!!
