How To Make Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes And Kielbasa

Step 1: Prep The Ingredients

Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into small, even cubes. Slice the kielbasa into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2: Layer Everything In The Crockpot

Add half of the diced potatoes to the bottom of the crockpot. Top with half of the kielbasa and half of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, kielbasa, and cheese.

Step 3: Mix And Pour The Sauce

In a bowl, stir together the cream of chicken soup, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the crockpot.

Step 4: Cook Low And Slow

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and everything is heated through.

Step 5: Serve

Gently stir before serving to distribute the cheese and sauce, then scoop into bowls or onto plates.

Notes And Variations
