Can you use frozen cooked potatoes??
Delicious
I just made this and it is so comforting and tasty!! I added a little chili powder in my second bowl of it and it kicked up the flavor to another notch too!
Definitely making this again ♡ thank you for the recipe!
I have not made this recipe yet, but if I do, can it be frozen?
Looks delicious and it’s my kind of breakfast!
Unfortunately, we cannot answer this with certainty as we have never tried freezing this ourselves. Please use your best judgment for freezing and reheating.
Could I prep the veggies and meat then freeze? Take out the day before to let thaw and then add the dairy and soup?
What a great idea! But unfortunately, without having tried this myself, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment when making substitutions and modifications.
I must have done something wrong. It cooked 4.5 hours on low and then 3 hours on high and some of the potatoes are still raw.
Slow cooker is working fine.
Hi Laurie! It sounds like perhaps your potatoes were cut too large. They should be diced very small to ensure they cook through in time. Hope that helps!
Hi I made this recipe last night and I had a couple questions. I originally put it all in and started cooking it at 12:30am I put the crockpot on low. I also used frozen potatoes instead of regular. I woke up at 4:30am and my potatoes looks like mashed potatoes. Luckily I had a bag of simply potatoes in my fridge that I added to it. I switched the crockpot to warm. That saved the potatoes and made it better. Then we didn’t wake up until 9:30am the next morning and I was hoping it was still good because it had been in there for 9 hours! It was a warm breakfast to wake up to and it smelled good but I was just wondering if that’s too long to eat? Next time should I put it away at 4:30am and re warm it? Did I do something wrong with my potatoes? Should I have used regular potato’s to avoid them becoming mushy? My husband loved it btw! Thanks! I’ll definitely be making this again!!
Hi Rachelle, unfortunately we can’t say with certainty what the issue might have been in this case since you used frozen potatoes and we have not tried that ourselves. Glad it still turned out ok! If you have the same issue again using regular potatoes next time, let us know.
Your recipe, as written, is absolutely perfect. I have had it in a 200° slow cooker for 6 hours and it’s perfect. I’ve never had a more delicious cheesy potato recipe. I can’t wait until my wife and daughter tastes it. And my son gets home for Spring Break tomorrow and he’ll love it, as well. Thank you so much for your ideas. I’ve really enjoyed your recipes the last few years.
This recipe was mostly good. For one, I suggest cooking the potatoes way longer. I diced mind super small but still cooked it for five hours on high and it was still not totally cooked. But, I can’t blame the recipe for that really. To get them more cooked, I put the potatoes in a pan, cooked it at 425, and it was almost perfect. Super yummy otherwise!
If using the frozen potatoes, should I thaw them before hand? Will it take longer to cook if they are frozen?

Do you think the frozen potatoes with bell peppers in them would work for this? I sure dislike peeling potatoes haha but I really want to make this Christmas morning.
Absolutely! What a great idea!
Excited to try this recipe! Question: If I double the recipe, what slow cooker settings would you recommend doing? Thanks in advance!

Can you substitute O’brien h.b for Russet’s & if so how many cups?

So I made this the other morning to serve for breakfast at a moms group I’m apart of. I followed the recipe exactly. The flavor was good but it was more of a potato soup. I had to thicken it with flour and water just to be able to serve it on a plate instead of a bowl. I don’t think I would make it again honestly. But this recipe has potential. Maybe no cream of chicken soup? I don’t know. But I’m glad I tried it.
Same thing happened to me! Not sure if if was water from rinsing the potatoes and peppers? Or if I didn’t add enough cheese but everything came out more like soup? Any recommendations on what I did wrong or could fix? Either way, the potatoes were delicious and the smell was so amazing yo wake up to!!
After 5 hours the poatoes were still raw and it was on low
Same!! I used a small dice and no where near cooked at the 5 hour mark on low. Maybe i’ll try the recipe on high next time. I’m glad I tested this prior to having guests over.
Do you think this dish could be made in advance, sit in the fridge and then cooked almost 18 hours later?!

Will this be soup like consistency when finished or gravy-like?
Gravy-like! 🙂
I love that it’s like a casserole without the eggs. I like my eggs over easy so I can have both! Sounds silly but I like my yokes runny …making for a brunch tomorrow…I love your blog!
great easy recipe to wake up to in the morning.
I added thai chili peppers i had laying around for extra kick!
This sounds like a wonderful crockpot dish for Christmas morning…you know, the time you get to “splurge” a bit! I am going to try it! 🙂
