9 slices bacon
1 onion, finely diced
7 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 cups vegetable broth
2 cups half-and-half
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 ¼ cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend, divided
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh chives, or to taste (Optional)
Directions
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; reserve drippings in the pan. Crumble 6 strips of bacon, saving 3 for garnish.
Heat bacon drippings over medium-high heat. Cook onion in the hot drippings until soft, about 5 minutes.
Transfer potatoes, crumbled bacon, onions, and garlic powder to a slow cooker. Pour broth over the top. Cook on Low until potatoes are tender, about 6 hours.
Whisk half-and-half and flour together in a bowl. Add to the slow cooker and whisk to mash up some of the potatoes. Stir in 3 cups of Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend. Mix until cheese is melted and fully incorporated.
Crumble remaining bacon. Top with remaining cheese, crumbled bacon, and chives before serving.
You can use chicken broth instead of vegetable, if preferred.
