Crockpot side dishes taste great and help that busy cook during holiday feasts

When making so many dishes for a big feast, the slow cooker can help a lot with time management. You can also keep the food warm and ready in your crock pot. The stove top tends to get crowded during big meal making, and although you can do lots of prep the day before for big dinners, a slow cooker can help you get food prepped in the morning to be ready later on.

These Crockpot side dishes are perfect for holidays like Thanksgiving or Christmas

Please note these side dishes are for crockpots and slow cookers, not instant pots.

Slow cookers and crock-pots are the same thing, the main benefit being that you can prep your meal in the morning and by dinner it’s ready as it cooks slowly. An instant pot does the opposite, it cooks your dinner fast. 

This list of slow cooker side dishes will include:

• Slow cooker potato side dishes
• Crock pot stuffing recipes
• Tasty side vegetable dishes
