Time 6h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

9 slices bacon
1 onion, finely diced
7 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 cups vegetable broth
2 cups half-and-half
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 ΒΌ cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend, divided
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh chives, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; reserve drippings in the pan. Crumble 6 strips of bacon, saving 3 for garnish.
  • Heat bacon drippings over medium-high heat. Cook onion in the hot drippings until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer potatoes, crumbled bacon, onions, and garlic powder to a slow cooker. Pour broth over the top. Cook on Low until potatoes are tender, about 6 hours.
  • Whisk half-and-half and flour together in a bowl. Add to the slow cooker and whisk to mash up some of the potatoes. Stir in 3 cups of Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend. Mix until cheese is melted and fully incorporated.
  • Crumble remaining bacon. Top with remaining cheese, crumbled bacon, and chives before serving.
