Reviews

  1. Absolutely Delicious! I didn't have a lot of time before dinner so I cooked it on high for 2 hours. Made for 123 HITS
     
  2. I also added a package of Knorr Creamy chicken rice side to this with additional cup of water and and 1 tbsp butter. Turned out fabulous! used a 4 quart size crockpot.
     
  3. Very easy to prepare. We love potatoes in any form. Made for Aus/NZ swap Oct. 2010.
     
  4. *Made for Australian/ NZ swap #37* MUST say this was surprisingly tasty, as I NEVER have used "boxed" potato preps ! Followed directions, and the potatoes were saucy and delicious -- if a tad soupy, but that was partly absorbed as they cooled. Topped with "cooked" bacon which I nuked for 1.5 minutes. Thanks for posting, weekend cooker. They were eye-appealing, wish I had planned to photograph !
     
  5. These were so easy to make and delicious ! I used real bacon bits and it turned out great. My husband and I will be making this again and again.
