Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Combine frozen hash browns, cream of celery soup, chicken broth, ranch dressing packet, and half of the bacon bits in a slow cooker. Stir well to ensure even distribution. (5 minutes)

02

Step
4 hrs

Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low heat for 4 hours.

03

Step
5 mins

Remove the lid and use a potato masher or an immersion blender to achieve your desired consistency. For a chunkier chowder, lightly mash; for a smoother texture, blend more thoroughly. (5 minutes)

04

Step
1 hrs

Add the cream cheese to the slow cooker, stirring until melted and fully incorporated. Cover and continue to cook on Low for an additional hour. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Season the chowder with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed. (1 minute)

06

Step

Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish generously with shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, and the remaining bacon bits. Serve immediately. (2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use smoked bacon bits.
Feel free to substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth to make it vegetarian.
Add a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
