Crock Pot Side Dishes

Your oven and stovetop can only hold so much, especially on a big cooking day. These crock pot side dishes are here to free up that space – throw them in the slow cooker and let them cook alongside your main dish without competing for burner or oven time.

Crock Pot Baked Potatoes and Crock Pot Ranch Mashed Potatoes are lifesavers on Thanksgiving when the oven’s already packed, and Crockpot Baked Beans is the one I make for every cookout. Need something a little different? Slow Cooker Cheddar Jalapeno Corn Casserole adds a little kick to the usual lineup.

These are the sides that show up when you need the stovetop for everything else.
