The crockpot is the perfect Thanksgiving dinner tool. Especially since you can use crockpot Thanksgiving desserts to make room in the oven for other things.  Crockpot Thanksgiving desserts are perfect for saving you time, space, and might just be the best Thanksgiving hacks you can use.

Thanksgiving dinner can be a real pain in the neck. There are so many moving parts that mean we all need to turn into catering chefs at home. But there are tricks to making things go easier. You can make some dishes ahead of time, days ahead of time.

There are also pick-up options like picking up the sides or breads or whatever else you can essentially contract out to a professional. But using the tools you have is the best way to get through this, and we will get through this.

What are a few of your traditional Thanksgiving dishes? Most people have a turkey which basically cooks all day long in the oven. There are sides like green bean casseroles, breads, cranberry sauce, and so much more.

But that means there is not enough room in the oven to get everything done in one day. That is where the crockpot comes into play.

You can have things cooking in the crockpot to free up space and time. Especially since crockpot Thanksgiving desserts can be started in the morning and then forgotten about until it is time to serve.

Crockpot Thanksgiving Desserts 

The crockpot can help you make your Thanksgiving recipes in more than just one way. For example, you can use the crockpot for the desserts and then that frees up space in the oven or on the stove top. That means the one dish cooked in the crockpot helps you make two, three or even four dishes at the same time. And that is the most important thing, saving time.
