Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.

Cook on low 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. It is done when your potatoes and onions have cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the potatoes. Enjoy!

Notes

You may want to saute the onion and sausage before adding to the slow cooker.
If you substitute fresh diced potatoes for the frozen, you will probably need to add to the cooking time. The dish is done once your potatoes and onions are cooked.
The original recipe called for 1/2 cup milk, but many people said that it turned out too runny, so I changed it to 1/2 cup sour cream instead.

    I cook with my crockpot pretty much al week. I Love mine so much. with a family of 3 adults (my dad lives with me) between him and my hubby they can eat on this for 2 or 3 days depending. I made a small batch of this and it was a hit and no leftovers!!! I made another batch today and added other things this time! I used a half a bag of the hash brown and a whole bag of cubed potatoes with onions and peppers(only thing I had on hand and hey, its a potato).I added chipped ham cubes since I didn't have enough polish sausage for the whole thing. not gonna hurt none. I used cream of mushroom soup AND cream of celery soup since I didn't have another can of mushroom soup. I also added (recipe ready chopped onions, green and red peppers, and parsley). I'm sure this will be just as good! I gotta sneak in veggies any way I can! oh and the cheese! on low for 8 hours should be done by the time my husband gets home tonight around 1am! and dinner is served for him!

      Hey, I see it calls for one can of cream of chicken or mushroom, but I see in your comment you used a cream of mushroom and cream of celery. Do I need to cans or just the one? And if it is just the one why did u use two? Just wondering for when I make it. Thanks.

    Delicious! Even my picky teen liked it! I used turkey kielbasa, since we're trying to eat a little more healthy. Because I can't find diced potatoes, there was quite a bit of prep involved the night before: chopping onion, dicing potatoes, cutting the kielbasa. I had to do it the night before because I leave the house by 7:15 am! It was a lot to do after a long day, but worth it for the ready-to-eat meal on a very busy day. That morning I did saute the onion & kielbasa, which I liked, except that I feel like I smelled like onions all day long (co-workers said I didn't ;) ). I added a little more cheese since the bag was almost empty and it cooked longer than 8 hours, which may be why there's a bit of burned food around the edges. It was a hearty & delicious meal that didn't taste like 'every other crock pot' meal. I'll make it again!

    Love this recipe, its tasty, easy and makes great leftovers. I prefer to use cream of onion soup when I can find it (and last time went with cream of celery bc it was what I had on hand) delicious no matter what "cream of" soup is used. Thank you!!

    I see one of your amazon picks is the Taste of Home Slow Cooker cookbook. Is this recipe in that cookbook? And have you tried other recipes from this cookbook? I’m trying to decide if I should purchase this one as I’ve always had good luck with Taste of Home recipes. Thanks in advance for your help.

    slow cooker recipes are always the best. I have always been scared of releasing the pressure, an old timer cooker blew up when I was young and ruined the hardwood in the kitchen. I still remember the extensive floor refinishing my grandmother forced me to help with. The new slow cookers are easy to use and with your recipes, I feel like I am in heaven.

    This is absolutely delicious! I cooked it on low for about 5 hours and the edges at the bottom of the pot were burnt. Use your nose and check it after 4 hours. It does thicken up in the fridge.

    It looks gross no matter what you do. Don't bother. No one will eat it and if they try, it's just salt flavor. Not edible. Lee

    Made it with diced potatoes, kielbasa, cream of potato and cream of chicken of coursecheese. Meant to use just cream of potato but it turned out fine. I browned the slices of sausage before throwing it in the crockpot on high for a few hours until the potatoes are done. I'd recommend it for an effortless work night dinner. Very simple to make prep took 25 mins at the most. You could do prep work the night before. 3/5 stars because of the sodium content, prep work time (the frozen potatoes could cut this down but then we add more sodium) and that's all. Honestly I'd say it isn't bad or good just okay. And that's okay! Not every dinner is the best but as long as my family eats ill take it! Thanks for the new dinner idea

    I made this for the first time tonight and although I like the recipe itself, 6-8 hours on low in newer crockpots it’s just too long. This was done at maybe hour 3 or 4 for me so it was ready much earlier than expected and was starting to burn on the sides despite my crockpot being oiled. Next time, I will plan to start it much later and plan for 3 hours. However, the flavors are good and my husband and I enjoyed it. He does not like onions so I omitted them, which is disappointing for me. I *might* try adding some French onion dip mix into the sauce mixture next time but it doesn’t need it.
