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.
