Crock-Pot Baked Potato Tin Foil Dinner

So this was our Mother’s Day dinner.  I had seen various similar recipes around but they were all for the oven.  Of course, in my kitchen we try to use the oven as little as possible, so I figured we must find a way to do a potato tin foil dinner in the slow cooker.

It’s rather easy to do normal baked potatoes in your slow cooker, but I wanted to have the yummiest, most sensational dinner we could (too bad I had to cook it!).

MY LATEST VIDEOS

With this recipe I made 8 baked potatoes and divided it up between two slow cookers.

But you can plan this recipe around however many people you are cooking for and adjust the recipe accordingly. Use the ingredients and amounts as a guide but there will be no hard or fast rule with this recipe.  You can’t really foul it up.

By the way, pretty sure this was the best smelling recipe I have ever made!  We were drooling by the time it was done.

Instructions

1. I used my kitchen table as the place for my assembly line.
2. Cut a large enough piece of foil to cover not only the foil but all of the additions, don't skimp.
3. Spray with Pam or Crisco Spray so the potatoes don't stick.
4. Cut each potato into thirds, without cutting all the way through the potato.
5. Pour a tablespoon of BBQ Sauce (or less if it's a small potato) into the middle of the foil, then place the potato, with the slices open on top.
6. Shove two pats of butter into the potato..
7. Place shredded or chopped onion onto the potato.
8. Place celery on top.
9. Set carrots next to potato as well.
10. Now give each potato a bit of green onion on top as well.
11. Put 2-3 slices of bacon pieces on top.
12. Finally sprinkle salt and pepper to taste on each potato.
13. Fold up the foil so that none of the juices will leak out, it won't look as smooth and pretty as when you normally foil a potato.
14. Bake in your slow cooker for 8 hours on low.
15. In my 7qrt Crock-pot I was able to fit 4 baked potatoes (with 2 of them very large), so plan accordingly..either using only small potatoes or using more then one crock.
16. Once they have been cooked, pull each one out, unwrap a bit, place a handful of Shredded Cheese onto the potato, rewrap and place back in the crock for about 20 minutes, recover crock.
17. Serve it in the foil.

Recipe Notes

Remember fit this recipe with your family size, or those you are serving. It's easy enough to cook up a bit more bacon, and chop more onions, and vice versa! Enjoy.
