### **How to Make Cheddar Potato Casserole in the Slow Cooker**
#### **Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients**
1. Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds, ensuring they cook evenly in the slow cooker.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
#### **Step 2: Layer the Potatoes and Cheese Mixture**
1. Spray the slow cooker insert with non-stick spray for easy removal.
2. Layer the bottom of the slow cooker with sliced potatoes.
3. Pour a portion of the cheese mixture over the potatoes.
4. Repeat the process, layering the remaining potatoes and cheese mixture.
#### **Step 3: Slow Cook the Casserole**
1. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the casserole is heated through.
2. If you prefer a crispier topping, sprinkle breadcrumbs and extra cheddar cheese over the casserole during the last 30 minutes of cooking, then continue cooking until the cheese is melted and the breadcrumbs are golden.
#### **Step 4: Serve and Enjoy**
1. Once done, give the casserole a gentle stir and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
2. Serve hot, and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness of your homemade cheddar potato casserole!

### **Tips for the Best Casserole**

2. **Creamy Texture**: For extra creaminess, you can use half-and-half or heavy cream in place of the milk.
3. **Make Ahead**: This dish can be prepared the night before and cooked the next day—just refrigerate the un-cooked casserole and set it in the slow cooker when you’re ready.
4. **Add-ins**: For more flavor, add bacon bits, cooked sausage, or extra vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.
