This stress-free slow cooker sweet potato casserole is the ultimate holiday side dish. By cooking gently over several hours, the sweet potatoes transform into a velvety, moist mash that perfectly balances natural sweetness with a warm hint of vanilla. Topped with a crunchy, buttery pecan streusel, this hands-off recipe saves you valuable oven space during busy gatherings while guaranteeing consistent, delicious results every single time.

Ingredients

Scale

3 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup whole milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Peel the sweet potatoes thoroughly and dice into uniform 1-inch cubes.
Place the cubed potatoes into the base of a 6-quart slow cooker.
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, half of the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract.
Pour the liquid mixture over the potatoes and stir gently until they are evenly coated.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours until the potatoes are tender.
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining melted butter, pecans, flour, and cinnamon to create the streusel topping.
Once the potatoes are tender, sprinkle the pecan mixture over the top, recover, and cook for an additional 15 minutes to allow the topping to set.

Notes

Ensure potatoes are cut into uniform sizes for even cooking. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can lightly mash the potatoes with a fork before adding the pecan topping. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
