Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes with Bacon

I love, love, love sweet potatoes. They are one of my very favorite foods! I love them roasted, in taquitos, or in sweet potato casserole. My new favorite way to cook them is a little different from my other recipes-this one uses the crockpot! If that wasn’t enough to make it a favorite we top off the Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes with crispy crumbled bacon-that alone got it some enthusiastic thumbs up from my family!

Ingredients:

• 2-3 large sweet potatoes sweet potato
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons butter, cut up
• 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled

Cut sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes. You may peel them if you like but I prefer to leave the peels on mine. Place all the sweet potatoes in the slow cooker.

In a small bowl combine orange juice, brown sugar, salt, sage and thyme. Mix well and pour over potatoes. Cut butter into small pieces and place over the potatoes. Cook on low 5-6 hours or high 3 hours. Serve topped with crumbled bacon.
