 Servings: 3

Prep Time: 10 minutes
*Cook Time: 6-8 hours (slow cooker) + 10-15 minutes (oven)*

Ingredients

• 3 large sweet potatoes

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

• 2 tbsp butter

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Chopped chives or green onions (optional, for garnish)
  

  Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

     • Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry.

     • Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.

  2. Slow Cook

     • Place the sweet potatoes in the slow cooker.

     • Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours (or until tender when pierced with a fork).

  3. Preheat Oven & Prep Potatoes

     • Once cooked, carefully remove the sweet potatoes and let them cool slightly.

     • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  4. Stuff the Potatoes

     • Cut each sweet potato lengthwise (without slicing all the way through).

     • Fluff the insides gently with a fork.

     • Add a small pat of butter to each, then season with salt and pepper.

     • Stuff with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.

  5. Bake to Melt Cheese

     • Place the stuffed potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet.

     • Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.

  6. Serve

     • Garnish with chopped chives or green onions (if desired).

     • Serve warm as a hearty side or main dish.

  Variations & Tips

  • Cheese Swap: Try mozzarella, gouda, or pepper jack for extra flavor.

  • Vegetarian Option: Skip the bacon and add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or black beans.

  • Spicy Kick: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes or drizzle with hot sauce.

  • Creamy Finish: Top with sour cream or Greek yogurt for tanginess.
