How to Make Cheesy Fiesta Potato Soup in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
Well folks, Momma has been at it again! She came up with the idea for this Cheesy Crock Pot Fiesta Potato Soup recipe. You see, we were at camp one weekend, and she made our Crock Pot Creamy Sausage Cheese Dip and had some leftovers at the end of the weekend. She took the leftover dip and added in some boiled potatoes. She said it was delicious. So, I knew I was going to have to give this a try in my crock pot. The results were wonderful!
