12-25-23 These were over the top. Used bagged steam-able potatoes. What a beautiful impressive dish. Perfect for a Holiday meal.
This is a unique and delicious recipe. Loved it! ❤
I made these for dinner tonight and l loved them. They were really easy and tasty. Our family averaged out to giving this four stars. I would personally give it five though.
Absolutely delicious! So very easy to make, it’s my go-to recipe time and time again. Recommend low-sodium chicken broth, or omit the salt to keep the sodium levels in check. Definitely use thick cut bacon, it really boost the flavor and makes sure the pieces don’t disintegrate in the cooking process. PLUS, you can easily add boneless chicken thighs between the bacon and potatoes (if your cooker is large enough, don’t overcrowd! to make this a one pot wonder. Enjoy!
This recipe was very simple and easy to make. It came out very juicy and fell apart.
Extra tips: Try using thick cut leaner bacon and chop it up. Can also be topped with green onions. Tastes better the day after.
This was so easy to make and my family loved it! Made a lot!!
This recipe was so easy. Gather the ingredients, chop, put in the slow cooker, set the timer & your done.
