I own so many Crock-Pots now that I have seriously lost count, ha ha. I have decided this year that anything I can make in the slow cooker will be made in the slow cooker. I normally bake everything and transfer to chafing dishes or our buffet warmer, which is way too much work.

I like to share our recipes with all of you here on the blog so testing everything in the slow cooker before holiday dinner day works perfectly. Sweet Potato Casserole is one of the dishes that HAS to be included in our holiday meals. I love the stuff but I would love to have it prepped and cooking while the bird is taking up all the oven space this year.

Grab yourself some fresh sweet potatoes, butter, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, marshmallows, and pecan to get this awesome side dish cooking. Normally, I will leave my sweet potatoes large or even mash them. This year I really liked leaving them diced small. The texture worked perfectly. I know I will dice from this point forward, they were just so perfect.

For my birthday, I was blessed with a new Kitchen Aid Food Processor. My old one has done it’s job for 15 years and I really liked the new Kitchen Aid processor with the dicing tool. OMG I love it. I dropped my sweet potatoes in and they were diced perfectly in just a matter of minutes. A Food Processor is not needed but I highly suggest dicing your potatoes small because this little secret made our potatoes just right!
