Equipment

  • 5L slow cooker (searing style slow cooker, or a regular slow cooker with additional fry pan to use also)

Ingredients
 

  • Splash of olive oil
  • 600 grams shortcut bacon, diced (any rind and fat removed)
  • 1 large onion, diced small
  • 1 tbsp heaped, of minced garlic
  • 300 ml cooking cream (see note)
  • 420 gram can Campbells Cream of Chicken condensed soup
  • 250 gram block of cream cheese eg Philadelphia
  • 1 tsp Cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped (+ extra to garnish)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (see note)
  • 500 gram cooked, angel hair pasta (or regular spaghetti) to serve

Instructions
 

  • Using a searing slow cooker on SEAR setting (or using a fry pan) heat oil and add onion, garlic and bacon and cook on high heat for approx 5-10mins for onion to soften.
    Then return slow cooker back to a regular slow cooking LOW setting now (or if using fry pan return the onion and bacon to the slow cooker now)
  • Add all other ingredients except the cheese and the cooked pasta
  • Slow cook on LOW for 5hrs
  • Stir occasionally to help break down the cream cheese into the sauce
  • In the final 15mins of this cooking time add the cheese
  • To serve, stir through the cooked pasta and garnish with a little extra fresh chives
  • NOTES:
    ~ Cooking cream is a specific cream that resists splitting when heated. If you must use regular cream, add 1-2 tsp of cornflour to it first before adding, to help prevent splitting. More info HERE
    ~ For the shredded cheese I used a Pizza Blend (Mozzarella, Cheddar and Parmesan)

    an absolute favourite in our house… we have it on weekly rotation but I could honestly have this everyday… my dr might not approve, but this is soooo good

  2. this is the second time daughter wanted to cook ( both have been slow cooker central recipes, ( i do a lot so it must be catching). this recipe daughter added too much cheese ( which for her is saying something). and not enough spaghetti. but yumm regardless, just couldnt eat much of it. Next time maybe daughter will follow directions ( especially when it comes to cheese).

  3. I made this today to go with dinner tonight. It’s so creamy and cheesy and delicious! I’m having a sneaky little bowl of it whilst writing this review lol. Another outstanding recipe to add to my regular list. It would also be yummy adding some cooked chicken to as well.

    Slightly misread the recipe and added the cooked pasta at the beginning as it shows add all ingredients and right at the end add the cooked pasta! Inused linguine instead of spaghetti.
    Additionally I also added two chopped chicken breasts.
    Cooked on low for 5hr.
    Still tasted nice, creamy and lush 😋

  5. Cheesy Goodness!
    Absolutely delicious. Definitely adding this recipe to the rotation.
    Everyone loved it.

    Wow – so quick & easy to make – the house smelt amazing while cooking and it was just perfect. Mine only took 4 1/2 hrs but my slow cooker did burn on the sides so think I might need to upgrade to a newer model. Will definitely be making this again 5/5

    This was amazing & so creamy. I also added some cheese kransky (that needed to be used). A very quick easy & tasty dinner. Next around I’ll be doing garlic bread with this dish.

    This is super easy to make and tastes great. I used a four blend cheese for something different. Definitely now one of our regular dishes.
