Slow Cooker Chorizo Mashed Yams

Gluten-Free Dairy-Free

Chorizo Mashed Yams // rubiesandradishes.com #paleo This is one of my favorite slow cooker dishes lately. I love its versatility. We serve it as a side for dinner, or I’ll take it to work with me for a quick one-pot lunch or breakfast. The chorizo and yams combine to make the perfect combination of sweet and spicy!

      I get mine at our local artisan butcher – he’s amazing! I think Whole Foods might have some good options?

      Bummer! I buy ours at a local health food store or a local butcher that specializes in organic meat!

    Delicious. Love the chorizo idea. I usually put black beans, sour cream, and cheese on yams…

    Omg 2 of my favourite things! Chorizo and sweet potatoes (we don’t have yams here)! I’m definitely making this!

    Sweet potatoes are my all time fave, and pairing them with chorizo sounds amazing!
