Think Ahead and Relax with These Slow Cooker Thanksgiving Recipes
When cooking a huge, multi-course meal like the Thanksgiving Feast it pays to break out as many of your cooking appliances as possible. While the oven is handling the turkey (or some Thanksgiving casseroles), and the stovetop is tied up with a few other items, your slow cooker can pitch in with a largely hands-off dish or two. It's just smart!
Below, find nearly thirty of our favorite Thanksgiving Crockpot recipes. Any one of these is guaranteed delicious and easy to make. Or borrow a neighbor's slow cooker and make two!
