Aunt Lou here.
We prepare Thanksgiving Dinner together as a family. That means that Cris, Mom and I are all running around Mom’s kitchen Thanksgiving morning trying to figure out how to shuffle all the recipes so that everything is done and still warm in time for lunch (yes, I grew up in a house where dinner is lunch, not supper).
Well this year we can help you cut down on crazy shuffle with your stove and oven with these Thanksgiving Recipes that CROCK!

Corn Casserole
Cris refuses to have a holiday meal without Crock Pot Corn Casserole.
Stuffing
A good stuffing recipe is a must at Thanksgiving. Cris has you covered with this Slow Cooker Stuffing!
Mashed Potatoes
Another must have at our family holiday dinners is mashed potatoes. I whipped up these Creamy Ranch Crock Pot Potatoesthe other day. They were fabulous and so easy to make!
You can have your pick of baked beans with either of these great recipes from Cris:Crock Pot Cowboy BBQ Beansand Crock Pot Pineapple Baked Beans.
Turkey
No Thanksgiving meal would be complete without it’s star…the turkey. You can free up your oven with our Crock Pot Turkey Breast Recipe!
Desserts
We can’t forget those yummy desserts that finish off the meal! I have been the pumpkin pie queen since I can remember. Gramma always made two pumpkin pies. One for me and one for the rest of the family. (No matter what Cris says, I was not spoiled! 😉 ) I do believe Cris’ Crock Pot Crustless Pumpkin Pie will be perfect for this year.
If I’m the pumpkin pie queen, my dad is the peach king. If it were up to him every single dessert would be a peach dessert. So when I made this Crock Pot Peachy Dump Cake, I knew that it would be a new and welcomed addition to our Thanksgiving Feast.
So there you have it folks! You can now go CROCK your holiday feasts with these Thanksgiving Recipes that CROCK! Enjoy!
I'm wife to Michael (not Mikey 😉 ) and mom to Mr. Ryder and Miss Iyla. I'm just walking through this life step by step focusing on enjoying the little things in life. I am in awe of the many blessings big and small I receive daily from a pretty amazing God who calls me His own. Sometimes life is crazy and messy, but I am loving every minute of it.

A slow cooker and a Crockpot are the same thing, essentially. A slow cooker is an appliance of which there are lots of brands. Crockpot is one brand of slow cooker. Crockpot popularized slow cookers when they launched their version in the 1970s.
To mimic a slow cooker, you can use a dutch oven or covered casserole dish in a very low oven preheated to 200° Fahrenheit (United States) or 95° Celsius. Some new wall ovens and ranges include a preset “slow cook” function, then automatically switch to “keep warm” when the cooking time is over.
When we look at the material, it's evident that slow cookers and Crockpots consist of the same three components: Glass lid, pot, and heating element. However, Crockpots generally have ceramic or porcelain pots, while most slow cookers have a metal pot.
A general rule of thumb from Luis Sanchez, senior category manager for the appliance manufacturer Breville: To go from "High" to "Low" (or vice versa), multiply (or divide) the original time by 1.5 to 2.5 hours. And as with the cooking times for specific ingredients, these times are approximate.
"For the third year in a row, cranberry sauce takes first place as the most disliked traditional Thanksgiving food. Over 31% of respondents, 82 million American adults, do not want cranberry sauce for their Thanksgiving dinner.
Sometimes, roasting a whole turkey is just too much—too much time, effort, and maybe even too much food. For smaller crowds, swap the turkey with chicken, Cornish game hens, or stuff and roast individual quails for each guest, which is very elegant for a plated meal.
Oven-Baked Magic: Another option for slow cooking without a slow cooker is to utilise your oven. Choose an oven-safe dish with a lid or tightly cover a regular baking dish with foil. This method is excellent for roasts, casseroles, and baked dishes.
Aside from being juicier, slow-cooking makes meat a lot more tender and flavorful. The extra juices help to accomplish this but it's mainly the long-cooking time that brings out the richness of the meat.
Another option for slow cooking without a slow cooker is to utilise your oven. Choose an oven-safe dish with a lid or tightly cover a regular baking dish with foil. This method is excellent for roasts, casseroles, and baked dishes.
Slow cooker recipes are often designed for an eight-hour cook so that the food is ready when you return home after a long day. Is it safe to leave a slow cooker on for 12 hours? Yes, you can use your slow cooker for longer than eight hours, as long as you keep an eye on it.
If possible, turn the cooker on the highest setting for the first hour of cooking time and then to low or the setting called for in your recipe. Foods take different times to cook depending upon the setting used. Certainly, foods will cook faster on high than on low.
