Crock Pot Sweet Potato Casserole
My goal this year is to prepare as many crockpot thanksgiving dishes as I can!
Thanksgiving is an amazing holiday but it always seems to get filled with craziness, worry, and fighting over the oven and well a bit more craziness.

1. You do not need to use the oven
2. It is crazy easy to make
3. You prep the dish and walk away and the Crock-Pot takes care of all the work
4. It tastes simply Ah-Mazing! I mean seriously over the top love at first taste Ah-Mazing

Recipe tips
You will want a good vegetable peeler that is comfortable to use. I love this OXO peeler and use it all the time.
Make sure you have a large bowl to hold all of the cut sweet potatoes or you can just add them into the slow cooker as you cut them.
I tend to leave the pecans out of our slow cooker sweet potato casserole because we have family members that can't eat nuts. I like to serve the pecans in a side dish next to the crockpot or the serving dish so they can easily add them to their plate if they want them.
My favorite Hamburger Mix n Chop works fantastic for breaking up the sweet potatoes. You can also use a potato masher but I tend to grab my Mix and Chop for almost everything.

have you lost any weight on the simple plan with ww. if so how much in the two weeks
Lynne
Yes, I'd like to try it with real sweet potatoes as well. How many would you say to use? I imagine you would just mash them and add with the other ingredients before adding to crock pot...
Lynette
Is 2 40 0z cans correct??
Tammilee
Hi, I made it with the 2 40oz cans so we would have enough for Thanksgiving.
Marisa
Have you tried this recipe just using real sweet potato? If so, how did you go about it?
Krista
Sounds great. I am going to try it for Thanksgiving. Question tho, how many servings do you think this is?
Tammilee
Krista, It makes quite a bit. I would say at least 8-10 or more depending on how much everyone enjoys it. I had enough for left overs for many days.
Krista
Ended up making it for Friendsgiving and all my friends asked for the recipe. Delicious! Making it again today for Thanksgiving. Thanks!
