Loaded Potato Taco Bowl

Crispy potatoes layered with seasoned ground beef, melted cheese, and all the taco toppings make this bowl substantial enough for dinner. The combination works because each element stays distinct instead of turning into a mushy mess.

You can serve these loaded little potatoes with any meal. The toppings give them a burst of flavor, and the slow cooker makes them very tender.

Ingredients: 1.5 lbs mini potatoes. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled. 1/4 cup chopped green onions. 1/2 cup sour cream. 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Salt and pepper to taste.

Once cooked, carefully remove the potatoes from the slow cooker and place them on a serving platter.
