Crock-Pot Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows

This delicious recipe for Crock-Pot Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows is the perfect side dish for your Thanksgiving or Christmas meals.

The sweet potatoes (yams) are lightly spiced with warm cinnamon & nutmeg, sweetened up with brown sugar and then topped with a melty marshmallow topping.

I really enjoy making this classic sweet potatoes with marshmallows in the slow cooker versus the oven as it frees up my oven for other holiday dishes like the ham, turkey, rolls etc. that need to be cooked in the oven. Plus if you are asked to bring a dish to a holiday dinner toting it in your slow cooker is nice. Just plug it in when you get to your destination and you will have a nice hot dish to serve!

Recipe Notes

* There is much confusion between a yam and a sweet potato. Here in the United States, what you find at your grocery store..that is labeled a yam..is actually a sweet potato. Technically a yam, is a white tuber with little taste, that can only be found normally in ethic stores. We may call those big huge tubers at the store a yam, but they are a sweet potato.

* For another variation use pumpkin pie spice instead of the cinnamon and nutmeg. It adds another dimension of flavor!
