Slow Cooker Easy Baked Potato Soup
I love this recipe in my slow cooker, especially since there is minimal prep. No bacon to fry, so the slow cooker is the only dish you will get dirty. If you have dry ranch mix on hand, I have really enjoyed this variation!
We often go through a lot of ranch dressing when we make salads and other dishes. Luckily it’s a staple in most kitchens and doesn’t take up much room in a cabinet. You can store it for quite a while before it’s no longer good. I like using my slow cooker to make simple meals like this.
One of my favorite things about this recipe is that there is minimal preparation time. Only a small amount of vegetables need to be chopped and that is pretty much it! I also like to cook recipes like this because my family can help me prepare it. They love to take part and chop the veggies, and serve the finished product when the dish is finished cooking.
This recipe is so simple and tastes great! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
