INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Melt butter in a saucepan on the stove. Add garlic. Add in flour and stir until blended. Let cook 1 minute.
  2. Pour in milk while whisking and continue to whisk until incorporated and no lumps remain. Add in chicken broth and seasonings. Stir over medium heat until thick and bubbly.
  3. Spray inside of slow cooker with cooking spray. Layer ⅓ of potatoes, ½ of onions and 1 cup of sauce. Repeat layers ending with the remaining potatoes & sauce.
  4. Cook on high 4-5 hours. Sprinkle with cheese, turn off slow cooker and cover to allow cheese to melt.
