- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup milk
- 8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream (for topping)

- Pour in the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and cream of celery soup over the ingredients.
- Stir in the dried minced onion, salt, and pepper.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until potatoes are tender.

Notes
- For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes against the side of the slow cooker before adding the cheese.
- If you skip the sausage or bacon, add 1 tablespoon of butter for richness.
- You can substitute frozen diced potatoes for hash browns if preferred.
