This recipe has officially become a family favorite — and for good reason! It’s rich, hearty, full of flavor, and absolutely impossible to resist. The combination of creamy potatoes, smoky bacon, and melted cheese makes every spoonful feel like a warm hug.
Here’s how to make it 👇
🥔 Ingredients:
- 4–5 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1½ cups milk (or half-and-half for extra creaminess)
- 5–6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt, pepper, and parsley to taste
👩🍳 Directions:
1️⃣ In a large pot, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside — leave a bit of the grease for flavor.
2️⃣ Add chopped onion and cook until soft. Stir in butter and flour to make a light roux.
3️⃣ Gradually pour in chicken broth while stirring, then add the diced potatoes.
4️⃣ Simmer until the potatoes are tender (about 15–20 minutes).
5️⃣ Stir in milk, cheese, bacon, and season with salt, pepper, and parsley.
6️⃣ Cook another 5–10 minutes on low heat until thick and creamy.
Serve hot, topped with extra shredded cheese and bacon bits — and watch it disappear fast!
Once you try it, you’ll understand why everyone who tastes it asks for seconds. 💛
