Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes, Green Beans and Bacon

Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes, Green Beans and Bacon is an easy an flavorful side dish that will surprise your guests.

Hi, slow cooker friends. You are going to love this side dish. Sweet Potatoes, green beans, onions, and bacon cook together to become a perfect side dish for almost anything. I made grilled chicken this weekend and made this beautiful side dish to go with. I’m trying to cut potatoes out of my diet for most of the week, and sweet potatoes are a great switch in recipes.

Below is a photo of this side dish before I cooked it, very colorful.  I use red garnet sweet potatoes for this recipe.

Even after I cooked this side dish, the colors are still amazing. We are going camping this month and I was thinking that this would be perfect along with side steak or even a burger.
