THE BEST SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

The filling gets a pumpkin pie-like treatment, with brown sugar and vanilla for a deep caramel flavor and butter and eggs for richness. This recipe is bound to become a holiday staple.

Provided by Kroger

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 lb Kroger Sweet Potatoes
6 slices bacon
1 small yellow onion, chopped
½ teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
½ teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
⅓ cup kroger heavy whipping cream
1 large egg
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded gruyère cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ½ cups crumbled herb stuffing
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and poke each one a few times with a fork. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until very soft. Remove from the oven and let cool until easy to handle. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°F).
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of bacon grease from the skillet. Add the onion to the skillet and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until soft and translucent. Add the thyme and rosemary, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and let the onions cool slightly.
  • Scoop the flesh of the sweet potatoes into a large bowl, discarding the skins. Add the cream, egg, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine. Add the onions and Gruyère cheese, and stir to incorporate.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished potatoes that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Pierce the potatoes before baking: This helps them cook faster and more evenly.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by inserting a fork into the center of a potato. If it goes in easily, the potato is done.
  • Mash the potatoes until they are smooth: Be sure to remove any lumps.
  • Add your favorite seasonings: Common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Top the casserole with cheese: Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use other cheeses, such as Parmesan, mozzarella, or Gruyère.
  • Bake the casserole until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This usually takes about 15 minutes.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving: This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Cheese-topped sweet potato casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
