As we count down to Thanksgiving I’m featuring a few favorite ideas that are perfect for the holidays. Then I’m going to take most of the week off to enjoy time with my family!
I tasted these delicious Slow Cooker Holiday Mashed Potatoes with Bacon, Parmesan, Ricotta, and Thyme when my friend Karen brought them to a party a few years ago, so I know they’re perfect to recommend for a holiday meal. I love that Karen used the Crock-Pot Casserole Slow Cooker for this special potatoes dish that’s perfect for a holiday dinner when you need a lot of potatoes to feed a crowd. But if you don’t have the casserole crock you can definitely make these in a large oval slow cooker as well.
