CHEESY CHICKEN, BACON & TATER TOT CROCK POT BAKE
This is a simple throw-together dish I came up with that is great for a Sunday after-church meal. Note: You can fry your own bacon for this recipe. I like the taste of bacon but cannot handle the lingering smell it leaves in the house when you fry it, so I just buy the jarred bacon for the few times a year I use it.

Tips:
- Prep Ingredients in Advance: To save time, prep and chop vegetables, bacon, and chicken ahead of time. This will make the cooking process smoother.
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh vegetables, flavorful bacon, and tender chicken breasts. Better ingredients lead to a tastier soup.
- Season Generously: Don't shy away from seasonings. Add garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. These enhance the soup's flavor.
- Choose the Right Cheese: For a creamy, gooey soup, use a good melting cheese like cheddar or mozzarella. You can also add Parmesan for a nutty flavor.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Be careful not to overcook the chicken, or it will become tough. Cooking it on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours should be sufficient.
- Adjust Liquid as Needed: If the soup is too thick, add more chicken broth or water until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Garnish before Serving: Before serving, sprinkle some chopped fresh parsley, chives, or green onions on top of the soup for a pop of color and extra flavor.

This slow cooker cheesy chicken and bacon soup is a hearty, flavorful meal that's perfect for busy weeknights or chilly weekends.
