We are almost a half a year away from Thanksgiving, but I can’t stop thinking about sweet potatoes. I’m not talking about the healthy-type baked sweet potatoes topped with skinny things like broccoli, ground turkey, or black beans. The sweet potatoes clouding my brain are the buttery kind topped with things like salt, pepper, and delicious brown sugar.
You won’t believe how easy these Crock Pot Sweet Potatoes are, and if you are like me, and need to scratch that Thanksgiving itch more than once a year, may I suggest this Crock Pot Roasted Turkey to go with your spuds? It is another easy recipe that reminds you of those fancy holiday dinners, without having to get out the good dishes or navigate family politics over the sound of football and crying children.
Since it’s July, skip the pumpkin pie and have watermelon for dessert. Mmm…watermelon. Now that’s something to give thanks for.

I used my 6 Quart Hamilton Beach Set ‘n Forget Programmable Slow Cooker to make these Easy Crock Pot Sweet Potatoes.
I have made these several times, and they are delicious! Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have cooked them one hour on high and two hours on low and this also works great!
Thanks, Cindy! I appreciate your taking the time to share your feedback!
Is this one hour on low then 2 hours on high? Or is it either or?
Making these today, love your easy recipe. I did a cheat on this to make it even easier prep. Purchased the organic precut sweet potatoes in the freezer section of Walmart.
(Haha, I even cheat there, do the Walmart grocery pick up – order my stuff, they shop, all I do is pull up and they load into the car and away I go. If you want to try it here’s my link ( Enjoy $10.00 off your first order from Walmart Grocery.
