Believe me, this is the easiest and most delicious potato dish you’ll ever try!

Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a towel.

Prick each sweet potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.

Place the sweet potatoes in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until tender.

Once cooked, carefully remove the sweet potatoes from the slow cooker and let them cool slightly.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Cut each sweet potato lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Gently fluff the insides with a fork.

Add a small pat of butter to each potato, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Stuff each potato with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.

Place the stuffed sweet potatoes on a foil-lined baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped chives or green onions, if desired. Serve warm.

For a different twist, try using a blend of cheeses such as mozzarella and gouda for a more complex flavor. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for a tangy finish. If you prefer a bit of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce. For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for a hearty alternative
