Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Water
Instructions
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. There is no need to peel them unless desired.
Poke several holes in each sweet potato with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Place the sweet potatoes in the bottom of your crock pot. Arrange them in a single layer if possible.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the butter mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes.
Add the 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of the crock pot to prevent the sweet potatoes from sticking and to ensure a moist cooking environment.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours, depending on the size of the sweet potatoes. They are done when a fork easily pierces through the center.
Once cooked, remove the sweet potatoes from the crock pot and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Slice open the sweet potatoes and serve with additional butter, cinnamon, or brown sugar if desired.
