Do you have some picky eaters in your family who can spot a single, tiny piece of chopped onion in any dish? Substitute the onion with a tablespoon of dried onion soup mix or dried onion flakes.

Crock Pot Cheesy Potatoes with Hash Browns

You should grab a bag of hash brown potatoes and keep them in your freezer so you can make these on a whim.

Cans of cream soups like cream of celery and cheddar cheese are also staples in our houses. If you do not have cream of celery soup, you can substitute a can of cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup. Don’t like using canned cream soups?

  1. I want to try the cheesey potatos but im allergic to celery so i cant use the cream of celery soup. What can i use instead of that if there is any way I can substitute it?

    1. We haven’t doubled it before so we can’t say for sure. You might try just adding 1 additional can of cheese soup and cream of celery as you might not need 3 additional cans if it looks wet enough. Regarding timing, your best bet is to use 2 crock pots! If that’s not an option, if you have a larger crock pot, use that and the cooking time should be about the same, maybe slightly longer. If you have a smaller crock pot, then it may need to cook a couple hours longer to heat through…but we can’t be for sure as we haven’t done it before!
