2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
2 green onions, sliced
Salt & pepper, to taste
Aluminum foil
🍽️ Instructions:
Prep the Potatoes:
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes well.
Prick each one a few times with a fork.
Wrap each potato in foil and place them in your slow cooker.
Cook:
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until tender.
Stuffing Time:
Once soft, carefully unwrap and slice each potato lengthwise.
Fluff the inside gently with a fork and add a small pat of butter.
Sprinkle in shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, and a little salt & pepper.
Let the cheese melt (you can close the lid again for a few minutes to help this along).
Serve:
Top with green onions and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
✅ Tips:
Try adding chopped jalapeños or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for extra flavor.
You can also mix the cheese and bacon into the potato filling before stuffing.
