Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Stuffing Recipe

I started off with the stuffing recipe because it’s one of my favorite parts of the Thanksgiving meal!

I love this new spin on the dish because it’s delicious, and it solves two common problems that occur when preparing Thanksgiving dinner,  trying to get every dish hot on the table at the same time and not enough space in the oven.

Preparing the stuffing in a slow cooker frees up space in the oven, and it’s hot and ready after 3-4 hours, allowing you to plan the timing of your meal accordingly.

If you prefer a little crunch to your stuffing, you can easily pop the stuffing in the oven for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Baking it in the oven will give it a slightly crisp layer on top. I tried it both ways, and loved them both! Straight from the slow cooker or with a quick finishing bake, this stuffing is a new favorite for me!
