    Sweet potato casserole is such a classic! We love serving it for Thanksgiving and even Christmas dinner. Making it in the slow cooker saves me oven space on busy holidays. 

    Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Casserole:

    Step one: Get started with preparing your sweet potaotes. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes and then add to the slow cooker with broth and butter. Cook on high for 3 hours until potatoes are tener.

    • Tip: To make sure that your potatoes all get cooked at the same time make sure to dice your sweet potatoes into chunks that are similar in size.

    Step two: Once your sweet potatoes are tender mash.

    • Tip: You can drain your potatoes if needed but I find that it's the perfect amount of liquid. 

    Step three: Temper your egg and then add it to your casserole with sugar and vanilla extract.

    Step four: In a small mixing bowl mix together topping ingredients. Sprinkle on top of casserole. Place the lid back on and allow to cook for 2 more hours on high

    Tempering Egg:

    To temper your egg you want to make add it to a bowl and whisk. Then slowly add in some of the hot casserole while whisking. Once it's warmed add to your casserole. This will help your eggs to not cook into scrambled eggs when mixing.

      I have a similar recipe but has evaporated milk instead of broth. Do you think this would work in the slow cooker? My recipe is for the oven. I was also wondering if I could first cook the potatoes, then mash and add ingredients, then topping, then slow cook?

        Yes that should work. Usually dairy would curdle with the heat needed to cook the potatoes but you can use the evaporated milk to cook the potatoes since it can take the heat.
        You can also precook the potatoes if you don't want to wait for the slow cooker to do it.
