Looking for the best holiday side dishes to make in your slow cooker for the holiday meal? Here are my favorite recipes such as green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, and mashed potatoes (and more!).
My family cooks the main dishes (and rolls) in the oven and everything else is in slow cookers! The slow cooker will keep your side dish warm for the entire dinner too!
See my list below of my favorite ways to use the slow cooker for the holiday sides.

Great recipes. Normal on hand easy ingredients. Easy to follow instructions. Have tried many – simply delectable. Thank you.
I love your recipes. Could you just put water in slow cooker with potatoes instead of chicken broth for mashed potatoes.
You could! Just add more salt and pepper to season it when mashing them.
