  I'm making glazed carrots in the crockpot Thursday. I haven't tried them before, but they should be good.

  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons McCormick® Cinnamon, Ground

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  Directions

  5 minsPrep time4 hrsCook time

  • Spray inside of 4-quart slow cooker with no stick cooking spray. Add carrots and melted butter; toss to coat. Cover.

  • Cook on HIGH 3 to 4 hours or until tender.

  • Meanwhile, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and salt in small bowl until well blended. Toss cooked carrots with brown sugar mixture in slow cooker just before serving.

  I also have some friends that swear by crock pot stuffing.

  • 1⁄4cup butter

  DIRECTIONS

  1. Lay your bread out on the counter the night before you prepare the dressing so that it will dry.
  2. Crumble the breads.
  3. Add all other ingredients except butter. Salt to taste.
  4. Pour into a sprayed crock pot.
  5. Dot with butter.
  6. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 4 hours.

  Corn Souffle! I do not have the recipe on me, but sort of like this one.

  You can also add jalepenos if you want it spicy.

  Well, if one of your crockpots is still spare and crack-less, you could keep your mashed potatoes warm in one. I make 'em like normal and slap 'em in a crockpot and they'll stay good all day.

  @DrillSergeantCat, my Grandma used to make crockpot stuffing! Not with cornbread though.
  
  Last year I made a pretty tasty bread pudding in the crockpot.

  A pumpkin, sweet potato, or butternut squash soup would be a natural.
