Sweet-Spiced Sweet Potatoes

There is just something about a warm sweet potato that just tastes like winter. I was challenged to make a healthy sweet potato recipe for Christmas, and this is what I made. It was a HUGE hit!

2 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/4 c packed dark brown sugar (I think I used light....not sure)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

Combine all ingedients except vanilla in slow cooker. Mix well. Cover, cook on low 7 hours or high 4 hours. Add vanilla and stir to blend.

Of note, you could probably add butter if you want, but only at the end. I added none (big shocker) and nobody could tell.
