Crockpot Thanksgiving Dinner
From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito
This crockpot Thanksgiving dinner is an awesome way to get all the flavors you love about the traditional holiday dinner all year around.

I can’t think of a better reason to whip out the old crock pot. What a huge time saver they can be.
Not to mention, they are about as low fuss and low effort as it gets. Just set it and forget it.
Now, that’s the completely opposite of what it takes to put together a full Thanksgiving dinner spread.

Hosting a holiday like that requires lots of time, effort and overall energy. It’s absolutely worth it but I’m still glad we only have to do it once a year.
I do crave that meal through the year though and this is a wonderful way to recreate it.

Obviously it’s not exactly the same but it sure does hit all the major marks. Especially served over some Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes.
My family really enjoys this recipe. It’s a fantastic meal to just pop into the crockpot and go about your day.

They love coming home the house smelling like Thanksgiving on a day that’s not a holiday.
I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.
Fast. Simple. Delicious.

Crockpot Thanksgiving Dinner Variations
I like this crockpot recipe made just the way it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

- Stovetop- Any flavor of Stovetop stuffing would be great here. The Savory Herbs and Cornbread flavors are my top choices.
- Soup- Any “cream of” flavor would be ok to use here. You can even use one cream of chicken and choose another flavor and mix them if you want.
- Meat- Any kind of boneless chicken or turkey can be used.
- Vegetables- A bag of frozen mixed vegetables are ok to use instead of the green beans.

This is a totally awesome way to have “Thanksgiving dinner” without cooking the entire day, especially when it’s only for a handful of people. I am stoked to make this for Thanksgiving.

Hi Diva ??, this recipe looks sooo good and yes, very easy?. Just wondering how much of ea ingredient? During the directions you did say "2" cans of "cream of" soup and seems like just one box of stove top,maybe 1 12oz? bag of frozen green beans but how much sour cream? And abouts how much chicken ratio? I'm assuming use the amount of melted butter suggested on the stove top box? Plz forgive me if I am just missing something somewhere. Tysm for all of your yummy recipes ??
Sincerely,

I am shocked at how much I liked this! I am by myself this Thanksgiving so I was looking for ways to bring in the holiday flair without shopping for days, cooking for hours and making a huge mess just for me to eat in front of the tv. The final product does not look great, but it is extremely tasty and so satisfying! I served it over a biscuit cut in half and am very grateful for this holiday feast.
