Time 1h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (40 ounce) can sweet potatoes, drained and cut up
3 medium eggs
1 cup brown sugar
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice
1/4 cup condensed milk
1/2 cup oleo, melted
2 tablespoons Bourbon
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

Put sweet potatoes in blender with eggs, brown sugar, milk, oleo and bourbon.
Blend.
Add pineapple last to avoid completely liquifying it.
Blend.
Pour mixture into a greased 2 1/2 qt casserole.
Scatter nuts over mixture.
Bake at 375 for 45 minutes or until it bubbles well.

Tips:

Boil Potatoes Until Very Tender: This will ensure that they are easy to mash and will create a smooth and creamy casserole.
Use a Good Quality Bourbon: The bourbon adds a lot of flavor to the casserole, so it is important to use a good quality one. Look for a bourbon that is at least 80 proof and has a smooth, mellow flavor.
Don't Overcook the Sweet Potatoes: Overcooked sweet potatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender but still hold their shape.
Add the Pecans and Marshmallows Last: This will prevent them from becoming overcooked and chewy.
Serve the Casserole Warm: The casserole is best served warm, so make it just before you are ready to eat it.

Conclusion:

Bourbon Sweet Potato Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. The casserole is creamy, flavorful, and has a hint of sweetness from the bourbon.
