Crockpot Sweet Potato Casserole

I love sweet potatoes! I make Roasted Sweet Potatoes every week, Sweet Potato Burrito Bowls are my favorite veggie meal, and my kids always want Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet.

We have sweet potato casserole for every holiday—and sometimes just when I’m craving it!

This recipe is a winner. It’s great for summer since I don’t need the oven, and perfect for holidays when the oven is busy with Roasted Vegetables or Thanksgiving Dressing.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make Crockpot Sweet Potato Casserole:

• Sweet Potatoes: Canned sweet potatoes are easy, quick, and tasty.
• Butter: Softened for easy mixing.
• White Sugar & Brown Sugar: Adds sweetness and depth of flavor.
• Orange Juice: Gives a fresh, bright flavor.
• Eggs: Binds it all together and gives a little lift.
• Vanilla Extract: Boosts sweetness and adds warmth.
• Evaporated Milk: Makes it creamy without being heavy.

Crockpot Sweet Potato Casserole Topping Ingredients:

• Pecans: Finely chopped for crunch.
• Brown Sugar: Adds a rich sweetness.
• Flour: Helps the topping hold its shape and crisp up nicely.
• Butter: Softened butter mixes easily for a crumble topping.
• Vanilla Extract: Adds flavor to the topping.
• Salt: Brings out all the flavors.

How To Make Crockpot Sweet Potato Casserole

1. Prep slow cooker: Line or spray with nonstick spray.
2. Mix sweet potatoes: Drain, beat until smooth, and spread into the slow cooker.
3. Make topping: Mix ingredients until crumbles form. Sprinkle on top.
4. Cook: Cover and cook on high for 2-½ to 4 hours until the edges are browned and center is firm.
5. Rest and serve: Turn off, let sit for 20 minutes, and enjoy!

Recipe Tips

• Texture: If you like a chunkier texture, lightly mash the sweet potatoes instead of beating them until smooth.
• Switch nuts: Swap out pecans for walnuts or even a mix of nuts for a different crunch.
• Flavor boost: Add some pumpkin pie spice for a fun Fall flavor.
• Make ahead: Make the casserole the night before, but skip the crumble. Cover and put it in the fridge. Keep the crumble in a sealed bag in the fridge. The next day, add the crumble and cook in the slow cooker.
