Loaded Cheesy Potato Chowder
Like how most great recipes are created, I had a crazy amount of potatoes and I needed to create something delicious before they went bad. Since its fall, I decided to combine a few slow cooker chowder recipes, thus creating the best Loaded Cheesy Potato Chowder I have ever made!

If you’re in the mood for something savory and cozy, I know you’re going to enjoy this creamy potato soup as much as I do. Savory, creamy, and loaded with bacon, green onions, and cheese. My secret ingredient is cream cheese! It adds a terrific creamy texture making it the perfect comfort food.
