Let Your Slow Cooker Do the Work This Holiday

Published 2 days agoΒ β€’Β 1 min read

Hi [FIRST NAME GOES HERE],

Ya know what, my stove is but so big. When I've got a turkey, a pie, and everything else going, there's just no room for all the sides I want to make. That's when my slow cooker becomes a lifesaver.

I've rounded up my favorite slow cooker recipes that are perfect for holiday meals. Most of these are set-it-and-forget-it, so you can focus on everything else.

β€‹πŸ— Slow Cooker Turkey Breast​

Hands-down the easiest way to get juicy, tender turkey. Plus, you can make gravy from the drippings. Perfect for smaller gatherings or when your oven is already full.

​πŸ₯” Creamy Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes​

These come out incredibly smooth and creamy. No stovetop needed, and they stay warm in the slow cooker until you're ready to serve.

β€‹πŸ§€ Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese​

Sharp cheddar and Gruyère make this seriously cheesy and delicious. No pre-boiling the noodles either!

β€‹πŸ  Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes​

The easiest way to cook sweet potatoes. Just place them in the slow cooker and let them do their thing. Top however you like or mash them up.

​πŸ₯¬ Slow Cooker Collard Greens​

A Southern staple that's rich, hearty, and seasoned perfectly. Great for holiday tables or any time you want comfort food.

Pick one or pick all 5, your slow cooker can handle it. And if you've got multiple slow cookers, even better. You can have a whole spread going with barely any effort.
