    So I love to cook, bake, grill, smoke. Most anything that comes to food I am into doing. I was a bit skeptical 🤨 at how easy this recipe was on how the taste level would be. But this soup was amazing. Super yummy 🤤. It is something different easy to throw together on a busy day and forget about it. Thank you so much. Looking forward to trying many many more of your recipes

  2. This is a favorite recipe to make while camping in the fall. It’s so easy to throw together and it’s a crowd pleaser!

  3. Cooked this last night and have been cooking it since you shared it on TikTok for the first time! 2022 or 23, not sure but it’s been awhile. We love it!

    I just bought the stuff to make this recipe tomorrow! Also decided to start buying a bag of frozen diced onion! What a great way to keep on hand! Love your videos and recipes. I’m sending them to my husband for his “approval” before I try them out, and there’s not been one that he’s turned down yet. Haha. That says a lot because he’s a “Picky Patterson” for sure!

  7. This is my favorite recipe of all time you you have. My 2 daughters love this. My 6 year old asked me to make it for her the other day. Times are tough and couldn’t do it for her.

    I haven’t had this one yet but it is my next meal to make when i have the funds to buy the ingredients. Can’t wait 😛

  9. Another tasty crockpot dinner! My husband said this soup rivaled any potato soup he has eaten in restaurants. Also means it has eclipsed the recipe I have used for years. Out with the old and in with the new! Thanks! 😊

    I also added some shredded carrots (2 smallish) and a finely chopped onion. Had real bacon, so I baked it in the oven and chopped it up also. So good!

  11. Looks yummy. I am going to try it with hash browns. Definitely making it for the residents at the assisted living I work at. Realeyez.heyhazel
