I put this sweet potato recipe together throughout the fall and winter seasons, but considering how simple the dish is to prepare, anytime is a great time to enjoy it! —Jenn Tidwell, Fair Oaks, California

For those of us who don't have a slow cooker maybe you could add oven temperature and time of cooking.

Delicious! I'll make it again but might use less orange.

My kids loved this and I can never get them to eat sweet potatoes! Only thing I will do differently is add a lil more zip to the sauce with some red pepper flakes and a little bit more tomato sauce.

My family liked this recipe as I tweaked it. Since I didn't have sweet potatoes, I substituted white potatoes and it was very good.

I don't know how everyone liked this recipe. It sounded intriguing so I tried it and neither my husband nor I liked it at all. I have made many recipes from TOH that have turned out great. This was not one of them.

Unique flavor makes it fun to cook instead of another chicken dish.

It was good, but I think I will stick with the traditional pot roast.

What a wonderful tasting pot roast! I just loved the flavors given by the sweet potato and seasonings. It was a nice change from the "traditional" flavored pot roast. There were no leftovers in my house -- my teenage son loved it so much he could not stop going back for more.

I thought this was awesome. Such an interesting combination of flavors. Unfortunately, the cut of meat I bought was terrible. But the sauce was fantastic. The only change I would make next time would be to decrease the sugar by half or so.
