• Swap the Cream of Chicken Soup: Use cream of celery, cream of mushroom, or full-fat sour cream.
• Bacon: Add cooked bacon to the slow cooker while it cooks and save a bit to sprinkle over the top for serving.
• Add Seasonings: You can add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, thyme, and rosemary for additional flavor.
