Slow Cooker: Country Scalloped Potatoes and Bacon

We had this recipe last night- and it was good! I changed the ingredients around a little, so here's my version. I basically used bacon instead of ham, so it's your preference.

8 Potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 white onion, chopped
1 Pound cooked bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces (or 1 pound cooked ham, cut in 1 inch cubes)
1 pkg (1 oz) country-style gravy mix
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
2 cups water
2 cups grated cheedar cheese

Combine potatoes, onion and bacon in a lightly greased stoneware. Combine gravy mix, mushroom soup and water; whisk until combined. Pour gravy mixture over potatoes. Cover and cook on LOW 7-9 hours (HIGH: 3-4 hours). Top with cheese during last 30 minutes of cooking.

Food....mmmmm....
