Tasty Tuesday!!! 

Its back to school time and we need some order in our house!! We have been doing dinner on the fly all summer long and the bathroom scale shows it! Ha! At least it does for me and the hubs! So it time to get back to some regular dinners that are quick easy and good at our house!! We have a busy schedule around our house with football, soccer, school, meetings and who knows what else!! So quick easy and good was a must!  I went to pinterest and looked up slow cooker recipes with very little ingredients. This tasty creation had a total of 4 ingredients!! Boom shakalaka! Shredded Cheese, Potatoes, Bacon and Cream of Chicken soup Winner Winner!! 

So really you just cut up one package of bacon you need 4 cups of shredded cheese 3 small cans of cream of chicken soup and a big o'l bowl of potatoes! Make 2 layers of potatoes, bacon cheese then add your soup to the top maybe a little salt and pepper stick that lid on and walk away from that baby! This all goes in the slow cooker I think I forgot to say that! When you come back 6-8(on low) or 4-6 (on high) hours later its pure heaven!
