November Thankfuls - Day 20 New recipes that turn out great!

I am thankful for new recipes that turn out amazing!

We had youth group thanksgiving and I made sweet potato casserole.  I wanted to find a crock pot one so that we didn't have to worry about using the oven.  I modified this one and it turned out great! Here is the original link

3/4  cup packed brown sugar                         

2  T butter                             

1 T Cinnamon    

                                             Save $

1 T vanilla     

                   

3 1/2 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes Save $

2 C miniature marshmallows Save $

        

Partially boil sweet potatoes (or you can cook this recipe on high for 4 hours)

Spray oval 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. 

In large microwavable bowl, mix brown sugar, butter, cinnamon,

Microwave uncovered on High 1 1/2 minutes, stirring once. Stir in vanilla.

Add sweet potatoes; stir to coat thoroughly.                                                            

Pour mixture into slow cooker.

Cover; cook on High heat setting 1-1.5 hours or until fork tender.

Reduce to Warm heat setting until ready to serve.  

Stir mixture; top with marshmallows, and cover 1 to 2 minutes or until marshmallows melt slightly.

Crockpot will seem like a mess to clean up but fill with hot water, it melts the sugar and it's not too bad :)
