Cheesy Potatoes {Crock Pot}

Are you looking for a delicious recipe for Cheesy Potatoes? I have you covered with this tried and true recipe that my Momma has been making for years!

Aunt Lou here.

One of my favorite sides is cheesy potatoes. I can remember getting so excited every time Momma made them when I was a kid. So creamy and delicious. It combined two of my favorite foods…potatoes and cheese! I couldn’t think of a better way to eat my vegetables!

Cheesy Potatoes {Crock Pot}

Fast forward to now.

I was in the mood for some of Momma’s Cheesy Potatoes, but had never made them before. Every time I need to get a recipe from Momma, it is an adventure. I don’t think the woman has ever really used a measuring cup…she just KNOWS. She can pour ingredients together and knows by the look of them when she has enough. I am in awe of her. (I had the same problem getting a measurable recipe for her French Toast, but after years of trial and error, I finally got it down!)

However, she reluctantly gave me approximate measurements for the ingredients on this recipe and was dead on. They were delicious! They got the “eyebrow raise-mmmm!” combo from Michael, so I knew I had hit the nail on the head. Yay!

Michael was also pleased that I used onions like Momma said to do. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the flavor of onions. I just have an aversion to dicing onions (or even going near one with a knife) since it usually sends me running from the kitchen with my eyes on fire and watering. Somehow this time I avoided the burning, watering and if I’m completely honest usually screaming and/or crying! Shew! I just wish I knew how I did it so I could repeat this stroke of luck!
