Scalloped potatoes are a classic comfort food, beloved for their creamy, indulgent layers and rich flavors. This slow cooker version adds a twist with the irresistible combination of cheesy goodness and crispy bacon. Originating from French cuisine, where ‘scalloped’ means baked in a creamy sauce, this dish combines the conveniences of modern cooking with time-honored techniques. Whether you’re planning a hearty family dinner or need a potluck dish that will wow your friends, these cheesy bacon scalloped potatoes are a guaranteed hit.
This dish pairs wonderfully with a light, crisp green salad to balance out the richness of the potatoes. For a heartier meal, serve it alongside roasted chicken or a juicy meatloaf. A medley of steamed vegetables, such as broccoli and carrots, also makes for a colorful and nutritious side. Don’t forget a crusty bread roll to soak up the delicious cheesy sauce!
